Something Fishy... Not my feet

If you are on your feet all day, such as dart champion Phil "The Power" Taylor, you may consider the latest foot treatment: Fish Pedicures.  The process consists of putting your feet in a bucket of 100 flesh eating fish for 15-30 minutes.  The Doctor Fish, garra rufa, start nibbling away your dead skin, leaving your toes baby smooth.  Not everyone is impressed with this technique.  Arizona, among other states, has banned the use of fish for exfoliation.  Arizona health officials argue that, unlike clippers and combs, fish cannot be sterilized.  Cindy Vong, owner of Gilbert Spa in Arizona, is participating in a suit against the Arizona Board of Cosmetology over the threatened revocation of her license.
