But while you're relaxing and having fun, just make sure that you understand the inherent risks of participating in certain spa treatments. I'm specifically talking about the exotic (and occasionally dangerous) things that go on in "fish spas."
No, a fish spa is not a spa for fish. It's a little weirder than that.
