Kementerian Kesihatan nasihat orang ramai henti terapi ikan
PETALING JAYA: Kementerian Kesihatan memberi amaran risiko terapi ikan atau lebih dikenali sebagai spa ikan kerana boleh menyebarkan pelbagai penyakit berbahaya, termasuk Hepatitis C, HIV/AIDS dan tibi serta beberapa penyakit lain yang berjangkit menerusi bawaan air.
Itu petikan berita dari Berita Harian, kalau masih tak percaya, akhbar The Sun pun sudah mengeluarkan artikel tentang bahaya terapi ikan ni.
The Health Protection Agency said risks from the foot-nibbling treatment are “low but could not be completely excluded”.
And it said those with diabetes, psoriasis or with weakened immune systems are especially vulnerable and should never undergo the pampering craze.
Infections and bacteria may be passed on by the tiny garra rufa fish themselves or through water used by a previous client and left unchanged.
Blood-borne viruses like HIV and hepatitis could be transmitted if infected clients bleed in spa water that is used again.
A report added that the risk is “extremely low, however, this cannot be completely excluded”.
An agency spokesman said last night: “We have issued this guidance because there are a growing number of these spas.
“When the correct hygiene procedures are followed, the risk of infection is very low.
“However, there is still a risk of transmission of a number of infections — this does include viruses like HIV and hepatitis.”
Some parts of the US and Canada have banned fish pedicures.
