What's wrong with cooling your feet in a lake filled with fish?

City girl here. I’d appreciate it if those who know the answer could give it without making scornful remarks this time.
In the news stories about the abducted 16-year-old California girl who was rescued in Idaho, several mentions have been made about one of the horseback riders who spotted her and her kidnapper in the wilderness:
The pair were first seen on a trail — and then later at the lake, where one of the horseback riders cautioned Hannah about dipping her bare feet in the fish-filled water. [ source ]
What’s wrong with sharing a lake with fish? Why was this a sign that the girl was, so to speak, a fish out of water? I would think there’d be more of a potential problem with a lake where fish couldn’t live. Is this about physical danger, or hygiene, or something else?
