Wash. state says fish pedicures illegal

SEATTLE Washington state officials have banned a procedure that uses
tiny fish to nibble dead skin off the feet of customers getting
pedicures.

Peridot Nail Salon in Kent began offering the procedure several weeks
ago, with customers paying $30 to have small, toothless carp tickle
their toes for 15 minutes.

But the state Department of Licensing decided the procedure was
unsanitary and potentially unsafe, and Thursday declared it illegal.

Agency spokeswoman Christine Anthony says state law requires that all
implements in pedicures be sanitized, and there's just no way to
sanitize live fish.
