Fish pedicures are popular in places such as Turkey and Thailand.  But the $45 fashion fad seems to be swimming upstream in the United States.  Over a dozen states have targeted the practice where scores of toothless minature carp buff up the feet by having a little feast.  Proponents say it’s much better for getting rid of dead skin than the tradional scrubs.  However, health officals fear the fish could spread infection through open wounds and are shutting down spas that offer the service in certain states.  So for now it appears this imported beauty procedure will be sleeping with the fishes.
