Pedicure Risks: What to Know About Salon Infections

Getting a pedicure can be relaxing, but it's important to be careful.

Sometimes, if salons aren't clean or if they cut you, you could get a bad infection.

One woman had her toes amputated because of this.

Another lost her leg.

There are also unusual foot treatments like fish pedicures, which have risks too.

To stay safe, always check if the salon is clean and avoid getting any cuts or having ingrown nails removed.

If you have any wounds or health issues, it's best to skip the pedicure.
