Was it fishes nibbling my feet and toes?

Asked by Dutchess_lll (8753points) June 30th, 2019

We’re at the lake with 4 kids. At one point I took a break and sat in the shallows, watching them. Soon I got the distinctive feeling some thing was nibbling my feet.
I shook it away but they came back. If I could have SEEN what they were I could have ignored it, but I couldn’t see it so it was mooky.
Also are they pedicure fish? Were they doing something helpful?

No, it was an elder god

WTH did you do @ragingloli??

What kind of fish Squeekster?

SQUEEKY2's avatar

AS a kid I remember back east these little fish would peck at my legs when I was in the water,didn’t hurt in the least,just sorta freaked me out though.
I have no idea what kind of fish they were ,sorry.

I had a small pond in my backyard once. Lots of blue gill in it. It was only about 5’ deep in the middle and we would go into it just to cool off in the summer. The fish would get attracted to the hairs on my body and try to nibble them. I got a few little bites out of the deal.

Dutchess_lll's avatar

Spot on! I’ll have to do it again and take some before and after pics.

@seawulf575 I’m betting it was dead (or live) skin cells they were after, not hair.

seawulf575's avatar

@Dutchess_lll It might have been, but I could see them hitting on the hairs that were waving in the water.

Dutchess_lll's avatar

OIC. I couldn’t the suckers in the lake!

kritiper's avatar

Sounds like you’re on drugs. Get some sleep, it might help.

Mimishu1995's avatar

You should be glad. The fish were cleaning up your feet :)

Dutchess_lll's avatar

That’s what what I was actually wondering @Mimishu1995! Makes sense to me.

@seawulf575 what I meant to say was I can’t see under the water in these muddy Kansas lakes. I wanted to ASSUME it was fishes.
Rick said it was probably snakes. I hate him (Think “My Cousin Vinny.”)

Mimishu1995's avatar

@Dutchess_lll I’m not worried because my fish did that to me all the time. So when I hear about fish nibbling feet I’m like “awwwwwwww” :D

Dutchess_lll's avatar

I just got that joke @kripiter! :D

seawulf575's avatar

@Dutchess_lll snakes don’t continue to “nibble” at you. When they swim by you in the water, they keep going. My ex had a snake swim between her legs when she was standing in the water. She saw it swimming towards her, saw it dive under water, and felt it bump into her legs as it went between them. I heard her scream over the sound of the chainsaw I was running about 500 feet away.

SQUEEKY2's avatar

Wow again I totally agree @seawulf575 , what is this world coming to?^^

Dutchess_lll's avatar

@seawulf….it was a joke. Snakes don’t nibble.

Dutchess_lll's avatar

I’ve been in plenty water with snakes in it.
SQUEEKSTER…what did you mean “What’s this world.coming to?”

SQUEEKY2's avatar

That I agreed with @seawulf575 ,is all @Dutchess_lll , nothing more.

Dutchess_lll's avatar

Agreed about what? I must have lost track of something some where…

SQUEEKY2's avatar

Oh I have agreed with him on a couple of different threads today.
When ya get him off politics he really isn’t that bad a dude.

Dutchess_lll's avatar

We all know that! I like him and often agree with him too.

seawulf575's avatar

Well, if you weren’t all so wrong on politics we could get along more often ;-)

Dutchess_lll's avatar

I’m not wrong. I’m never wrong. ~

SQUEEKY2's avatar

Well I am more for politics that benefit the working joe, rather than those at the top that the conservatives favour.
