The Philippine nail salon closest my home just about turned into a DP when my polish was removed and I discovered a full blown case of fungus. If I'd had a bat, I'd have taken to them in an improvised version of whack-a-mole. Of course, I immediately remembered this thread. And no, there was no suggestion of any kind of sterilization, not even a jar of alcohol for their manicure tools.
Kneeling on the filthy sidewalk in a red light district over by the embassy, an old woman in rags stooped over a man's foot digging away at his toenails. I was skeeved out when i saw that a few weeks back. Now, I'd wager, in hindsight, that was as sanitary as the place I've been going recently for my pedicures.
Yeah, I'm feeling so pretty, fungus along with sporting the fragrance of bleach. And over 80% of people here are reported to harbor worms. So there's that too.
