I saw this on the recent epy of “I Survived a Japanese Gameshow”
It was part of the reward for the winning team.
One girl was embarrassed because she had more fish swarm over her feet than the other people!
“These fish are being used as tools, and we do not believe you can properly sanitize a live fish and guarantee it doesn’t spread diseases, germs, or other infections,” said Liz Luce, Director of the Department of Licensing in a statement.
DOL says since the salon cannot directly sanitize the fish, they cannot be used.
All salons statewide are being informed.
Well, let’s see, salons COULD still keep the fish as ‘pets’ and simply post, ‘Play with the Pets’ in a special pool area rather than advertising them as pedicure ‘tools’. Seems that might call to moot the law outlining that pedicure ‘tools’ must be sterilized or sanitized after each use since the fish would then just be cute little pets (and their aquarium is just on the ground)..........?
