The words daily and mail in such a combination make me view the afore mentioned article with a significant degree of scepticism.

The knobbers...

It might be worth reading the actual advice from the Health Protection Agency [url= http://www.hpa.org.uk/NewsCentre/NationalPressReleases/2011PressReleases/111018Fishpedicures/ ]here[/url]...

Surprisingly, the Daily Wail has gone completely overboard... which is most unlike them!

Similar headlines on a colleagues Sun today - when you actually read the advice it is along the line of "tiny risk"

Kind of like crossing the road then, hardly toe nibbling armageddon

Dumbed down, lazy, sensationalist journalism at it's finest

Wrong forum.

Terrible English.

Daily Mail.

I treated the missus to one of those fish pedicures the other day

I must say, I was most impressed with the result - those piranhas don't **** around

[i]cross contamination risk must be high[/i]

Can you actually read?
The actual link to the actual report is posted further up the page, why not get your mum to go through it with you?
