It's been a hard couple of weeks for the Jackel, over here. I really, truly think that a fish pedicure would be just the thing to relax me. This would almost be worth a trip to the D.C. area...but come on, I live in *California* for goodness' sake. There has to be a fishy spa opening here soon. I will be patient. Maybe I will email this link to the local spas or something.

Because, c'mon, being nibbled upon by small fish is like the most wonderful sensation ever, or at least up there in my top 20. Usually, procuring this experience involves holding very still in cold rivers and waiting for the trout to arrive. While the wilderness approach can never be replaced, I believe that there could be much to say in favor of a nice warm footbath, with fishies. Hedonism takes many strange forms, after all.

Also, there is the phrase: "full-body fish treatment". Mrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I like the sound of that.

Who's with me, here?

Saw something similar on a discovory channel or PBS show. Some spa in europe or the mideast someplace that had a huge tank/pool of these fish. It is, aparently a really good treatment for certain skin conditions, as the fish eat the dead skin off, without disturbing the underlying healthy skin. Over the course of many treatments, leaves the patient with healthy skin again.

Having never had a pedicure before. (unless having my toenails removed surgically counts) I doubt that I'd spring for this. Although this may be just a guy thing. *shrugs*
