Spa therapies for feet - with a difference !!

I have heard over the years about the various treatments available at spa's around the world where fish, ( not the dreaded pirhanas)
are use in skin cleansing therapies to remove dead skin, scales, etc and are reputed to be excellent for those suffering from eczema , psoriasis, and similar ailments. There is one centre in Iceland and we missed out on a trip to another while in Thailand. however, the latest local "craze" is "Happy Feet" where you can have your toes nibbled by tiny fish and for £1 per minute. Never seen it before but today there were queues of folks at the Gyle Shopping Centre , Edinburgh, waiting for the experience. It seemed a bit unfair on the wee fish to have to nibble at a stream of smelly feet, I thought they might get fed up eating and as the day wore on become less interested in a nibble, however the girl in charge said that they rested overnight and were up for a feed in the morning again.
I was just thinking of a header for the item and the image of the incident with "Fergie" Duchess of York, several years ago where she was caught receiving a " toe job" from an admirer sprung to mind, do not know why !!!
