A woman in her 20s reportedly lost all of her toenails after allegedly getting a so-called “fish pedicure,” a treatment touted by many as rejuvenating for a person’s feet.

The toothless carp fish – which are plant eaters – voraciously feast on dead human skin.

The woman’s toenails will likely return, but it will take a long time as nails only grow about one millimeter a month on average, Lipner said.

Walking barefoot on a sandy beach is cheaper and more enjoyable.

So who really needs toenails anyway?

You can't scratch your back with them and you can't dig buggers out of your nose with them.

Totally over rated pieces of the human body...........

Now imagine a Cheech & Chong like pair having this same treatment after taking a big dose of “prescription” marijuana. “Are those baby sharks?”

Just had one of those day before yesterday in Cancun.

I like it.

Funny thing is they attacked my feet like hungry piranhas.

My wife? They acted like her feet weren’t even in the water.

She is pretty good about caring for her feet — I guess she does a really good job.

Not me. I have a genetic predisposition to ingrown toe nails. Had all ten surgically removed over ten years ago.

You can scratch your feet without having to bend forward. A real time-saver!

This is wonderful—they call it “Dr. Fish” in Asia. I call BS on their eating her toenails, it can’t happen (unless maybe her toenails were so rotted anyway they just fell off). I love to do this when in Asia—never had a problem.

Yes, but it'll be a real turn-on for anyone with a carp fetish.

Ever swim with bluegills?

Not as large as Jaws, but more of them.
