An IHT article about a new spa in Alexandria that lets customers soak their feet in a pool of tiny carp hungry for dead human skin notes that “state regulations make no provision for regulating fish pedicures.” This is Virginia, just give them time! Swimming pool regulations did kick in however:
“But the county health department — which does regulate pools — required the salon to switch from a shallow, tiled communal pool that served as many as eight people to individual tanks in which the water is changed for each customer.”
Thank goodness they were on the case.
