A fish pedicure, also known as a fish spa, involves patrons dipping their feet in a tub of water filled with small fish called Garra rufa. Garra rufa are sometimes referred to as “doctor fish” because they eat away dead skin found on peoples’ feet, leaving newer skin exposed.
Garra rufa are native to the Middle East, where they have been used as a medical treatment for individuals with skin diseases, like psoriasis (1). One study has illustrated the effectiveness of fish pedicures in the treatment of psoriasis; however, this treatment was performed in a controlled setting at a medical university in Austria, not at a nail salon (2).
CDC is not aware of any published reports on illnesses resulting from fish pedicures. Nail salon foot baths, however, have caused outbreaks of nontuberculous mycobacterial infections that left infected pedicure customers with boils and scars
I sense a serious $$ making opportunity

Even better, we can advert leg hair removal too!
They appear more charming than maggots too. It was hard to convince a sentient patient to let you dump a bowl of maggots in their wound LOL.https://www.cdc.gov/healthywater/hygiene/body/fish_pedicures.html

We had those sets in CS when I worked. I imagine those have all been relegated to the museums today. We did not use them even back then. We either used gigli's or air powered saws for bone transection. Best of all we had general anesthesia!better than gangrene and the alternative, I'll bet

Dang it, now I had to request books from the library:
Empty Sleeves: Amputation in the Civil War South
Years of change and suffering : modern perspectives on Civil War medicine
It is sadly amazing how war benefits surgery.

Yes, now it's got me thinking about WWI and facial reconstruction
Which immediately transported me back to the VA and Commandos. I think there was a volume discount.

I remember touring Gettysburg a few times.
They had amputation blood stains from famous generals clearly marked for historical reference. I remember the aged stains looked yellow.
I also remember seeing Stonewall Jackson's blood stain there. But I Googled Stonewall and he died 6 weeks before Gettysburg battle so that's a mystery.
I will check that out next time I'm there. It's a hell of a place to visit. And those are indeed the perfect words to describe it.

It certainly is a solemn place. Horrific when you consider 7,000 men died in such a short period of time, 100F summertime heat, and neither side had the resources to immediately bury more than a handful of their dead. Add to that the 75 men that died per day in the field hospitals and the 3,000 horses that were also killed, well...

A set of circumstances enabled part of my teen youth to be fostered in VA & NC.
Skipping school toking up and taking a road trips was just the norm, we became tourist with a buzz and learned that old cemeteries (in the 70's) weren't as popular as Battlegrounds but they were chocked full of history and a safe place to get stoned, and contemplate the madness that lead up to these memorials. (so much for trying to avoiding learning)
I really enjoyed the engineering aspect of it the most, fortunately these sites seen very few tourist during school hours.
Edit:Neo should be a mod
I've been to Yorktown/Williamsburg Va many times for advanced schooling.
(The final battle ground where America and France beat Cornwallis)
I literally had to drive through the battle field daily to get to where I had to go.
It is somber and eerie to say the least

Neo for Super Mod.
