Why is Fish Pedicure Banned in Some States?
Yes, sadly, the fish pedicure is banned in a few states in the U.S., including Texas and Florida. One of the most well known fish pedicure centers in the U.S. is based in Virginia, which does not seem to have a problem with this treatment. The reason why it got mired into a controversy was because it was said that this treatment is not sterile. The fact is, that in most cases, though the water is changed on a regular basis, the fish cannot be changed, nor ‘sterilized’ because they are living beings. Also, the fish are too expensive to be ‘thrown away’ after a single pedicure session. Although there are still conflicting reports regarding whether or not this treatment is clean enough for people, the fact is that it has been outlawed in many states. So, sadly, some fish enthusiasts may have to travel to another state to avail this exotic foot treatment. So, this was all about fish pedicure. Many women that had complaints of dry cracked feet said that they felt their feet were much softer
