The Fish Spa in Turkey

Posted: April 7, 2010 · Categories: Weird · Comments: 6

This might seem weird, but it is a medical procedure known by the name ichthyotherapy, and this sort of fish is called “Doctor Fish“. The idea is that this specific specie of fish eats only rotten flesh and meat and only the infected parts of skin and that way it helps healing. Now, it all makes sense in theory, but if you ask me it’s simply nasty! Somehow it doesn’t seem right to me, nor very hygienic! What do you think?

    This is very reminiscent of the maggot therapy, also used to eat dead portions of the skin and body. Wooooo!
