    Hi Everyone,

    I was just wondering if anyone has any information about the fish (garra rufa), that claim to eat the callus off the soles of your feet. I tried to email a company but they told me the information was confidential and they could not tell me anything.

    I’m a finial year student, who is currently writing a business plan for Uni and thought the fish could make a good unique selling point.

    Thank you in advance

  3. Jenny :welcome: to Podiatry Arena. I see that Admin has sent you to the thread on the subject.

    While a unique selling point, maybe consider if it´s a positive selling point for the medical profession of Podiatry or not .

    Goodluck with your final year.

    I recall something about the FDA here in the USA stopping the use of small fish for pedicures. I think it was contrary to OSHA regulations.
    Put the poor little things out of business!
