Got a infection from a pedicure?

Answer 1

It is rummored that a Spa Pedicure (one that includes the use of a whirl pool caused a hepititis c infection from the whirlpool being dirty

I saw several news reports on TV where a lot of women did. It was a disturbing, disgusting and frightening new trend.

Pedicures had become the new epidemic killer. One Texas woman has her foot cut open with a pumice stone and died from an infection. A book was written about this tragedy, "Death By Pedicure."

A lot of women were interviewed on the news and brought their misfortunes at local salons to life. Their legs and feet were hideously deformed. It was excrutiating to see. Open rotting sores on their legs like someone stubbed out their cigarettes on them and feet that looked like they walked on white-hot coals and broken glass. Planter's warts and infected gashes. Diseases related to leperocy.

Diseases and bacteria are caused by.... what? More and more germs collecting together until they form a union of sorts. And with a pedicure... it's designed to scrape the grotesque crap off of the dirtiest part of your body. Of every body that comes in. Think about about all the other people that come trapezing through there.

Look, don't worry. They're cracking down on crap like this. Credo blades and the practice of using instruments again without sterilizing them or even cleaning them somewhat is now becoming heavily illegal. Now at-home pedicure kits are being sold in stores. I had to learn how to exfoliation devices myself when I started taking ballet. I was starting to get athlete's foot, among other things. Don't worry, ladies. Professional nail salons are getting cleaned up. Pretty soon it'll be safe for you to go back, girls. Pretty soon...
