A scientific study published on Tuesday reports the case of a woman who lost her toenails after undergoing a pedicure with fish.
This type of treatment involves putting one's foot in a pool of water filled with small fish called "garra rufa" or fish-doctors. These fish have the particularity of feeding on the dead skin on the human body.
According to research published in the journal "Jama Dermatology", the patient says she noticed that her toenails were peeling after having undergone a such treatment
The author of the study argues that the woman has no medical history that could justify this strange symptom. However, it is contradicted by another expert who argues that the patient's nails may have fallen due to the position of her toes in her shoes.
In the past, scientists have also pointed out that pedicures with fish can pose a risk of infection
