Fish spa might not be the best idea. We love to follow and give to the latest style tips offered across various platforms.A trendy trend is the pedicure of fish.

The pedicure is to put your feet in the water to have tiny fish nibble dead skin. for a while, and continues to be popular across different places across the globe.

A 20-year-old woman had her fingernails fall after being delivered to a fish pedicure.

This Incident recent made us step back in horror.

A new report from doctors suggests that feet in a tank of Garra ruf a (the fish that nibbles the dead skin of your feet) could end up making you lose your nails.

The report, published in the journal JAMA Dermatology, describes a woman in her twenties who would have contracted an infection called onychomadesis as a result of a pedicure of fish.

The woman consulted her dermatologist after months of falling her nails. The other known causes of onychomadesis have been ruled out, so fish pedicure has been considered the cause.

Not only that, fish pedicures also pose a risk of transmission of infections as fish is often used on more than one client. The tanks are often not properly sanitized, and pathogenic bacteria can be found in the water and in the fish.

Meanwhile, nails may take months to regrow, so the affected client may have to wait a year before being fully recovered.

Having fish that eat your skin may seem luxurious (and ticklish), but it's not worth the risk.
