From the now-I’ve-heard-of-everything department, here’s the latest in innovative pedicures from The Land of Spa: live fish that nibble on your feet to remove dead skin cells. Talk about sustainable!
Apparently, the Turkish Garra rufa species—colloquially referred to Turkish spa fish—are native to hot springs, lakes and river basins. This fact got a host of Middle-Eastern holistic healers thinking: Why not put a school of these spa fish in a luxuriously warm pool and invite people to dip in their footsies! The spa fish will gently swim about, nibbling on all your dead skin. Yum.
I’d try it in a nanosecond, though it looks a tad creepy. If you find yourself in Singapore and at Underwater World, which has recently begun offering the service, book a session and report back. All I can say is make sure you don’t fall in.

Hi Rose,
Great post. I got a great chuckle! Sounds like fun if you can get over the initial squirm.
