"FISH" PEDICURE - The use of fish in pedicures has recently been aired on "Good Morning America". This "procedure" uses tiny carp to nibble away dead skin. The technique/procedure is prohibited in Mississippi where disinfection standards require that all instruments and supplies which have come in contact with a patron, cannot be used on another patron until they have been properly cleaned and sanitized (Rule 808.I.) Further, Rule 809.II. requires that all instruments, materials, and supplies used in direct contact upon a patron, must be thoroughly cleaned with soap and water or other detergent, prior to disinfection. It is the opinion of the Board that the fish cannot be treated in such a manner.
