    How far would you go for a good pedicure?

    Somewhere in the Washington, D.C. area, women and men are slipping their feet into tanks of small carp and allowing the fish to nibble at their toes. Yes, nibble. A Virginia nail salon has sparked buzz by employing these "doctor fish" to eat the dead skin on clients' feet

    Whether searchers are intrigued or grossed out we can't say, but queries for the practice have leapt. Yesterday, we logged spikes in "fish pedicure," "doctor fish pedicure," "carp pedicure," and "japanese fish pedicure." Chomp, chomp.

    In Buzz, articles on the fishy endeavor have also fluttered upwards. In a popular video clip, a daring reporter not only commits her hot pink toes to a carp-infested tank (for research!) but squeals mightily once the creatures get to work.
