    Banned in the UK AFAIK due to the risk of cross-infection from client to client via the water the fish swim in.

    Not sure about hepatitis but stuff like athlete's foot, seborrheic dermatitis and thrush were some of the conditions I heard concerns about. In the wild the fish have a constant supply of fresh flowing water which is not the case in a foot-spa.

    I used it before but would not consider it now after the reports connecting it to disease...
