It is highly advisable that you do not undergo Garra Rufa fish pedicure therapy whilst you are infected with a verruca. Although the fish themselves cannot pass on the infection, it is possible that you may inadvertently infect the surrounding area that may present a risk for other users, as is possible at poolside and shower areas within swimming baths.
