    I had one a few weeks ago and loved it. It doesn't tickle much and it certainly does not hurt at all. First of all my feet were cleaned in a foot spa and then I put them into the tank. It was so relaxing and calming that if I'd been in a room of my own, I would have slept and my feet did feel wonderful afterwards. Give it a try, I was apprehensive at first but would definitely do it again. Just make sure you go somewhere that looks after the fish and makes sure yours and other people's feet are clean, the water is filtered and you feel comfortable.

    I've had it done before. It was a fifteen minute session, and I was giggling uncontrollably for the first ten. I have very ticklish feet, and it took all my concentration and willpower not to jerk my feet out of the water - I didn't want to frighten or hurt the fish. Eventually I got used to the feeling and it was quite relaxing, if very weird. I didn't think it did much good, though. My feet felt very soft, but a couple of hours later there was no noticeable difference to the hard skin on my feet. I think a soak first, to loosen up the skin, would be a good idea, then add fish.

    I think I'd be a little too freaked out about it. My feet are really ticklish too. I understand that it can be helpful and I guess you would get used to it. Can't imagine getting that full body treatment in a tub but I guess if you had psoriasis and it helps, you would try anything.

    i did it in Taiwan and it just feels a bit ticklish. But tbh i don't really see any benefits other than being interesting and fun to photograph

    well, personally, I wouldn't have it done because although it's supposed to be really good for your feet, it can be dangerous because of the bacteria transferred from another person's foot(EW!) and my feet are soooo ticklish, i wouldn't be able to stand it!

    I don't think so. It would be way to ticklish. I have rather eat the carp, but not after it has eaten foot fungus.
