I have noticed that our dogs (Australian Shepherds)smell cleaner after an ocean swim than after a freshwater swim?

And then they grow cauliflower and other colonialist vegetables.

if you get a cut in the ocean, you can get flesh eating disease- make sure you don’t have broken skin when swimming in ocean- fishermen get nasty wounds that fester badly when they get nicked by hooks, fins, & such, and get the salt water on the cuts-

Was watching Wicked Tuna- and Dave got a cut, which got infected, and they said what type of crap got into it from the ocean, but can’t remember- it swelled up terrible- was lucky he didn’t lose his arm

Liberals want everyone to be scared of everything.

(Except things we actually should be scared of).

I always thought wading in the ocean (salt water) was good for rashes and some wounds. I’ve had some positive experiences doing this.

it only takes a 10-minute swim in the ocean to get your skin covered in a fresh coat of bacteria.

and viruses too:

 Each milliliter of ocean water contains several million virus particles – a global total of 1030 virions!

Scientists Discover Nearly 200,000 Kinds of Ocean Viruses

Use hydrogen peroxide to clean the wounds out.

Wear a water resistant sunscreen.

I've spent a lot of time on, in, and around the Pacific Ocean and have concluded she really doesn't want us in there.
I also learned that quick first aid for a cut while fishing is to urinate on the wound. Never had an infection after that. Avast ye lubbers.

“the study could help explain a well-supported pattern—beachgoers who swim in the ocean are more likely to get sick with stomach aches or ear infections soon after than those who stay on the sand.”

I always check the credentials of those doing studies. I often find they have no credentials and are idiotic youngsters trying to play smart.

I took a bad spill on my bicycle a few days before a Bahamas trip — had a nasty, 4-inch scab over my knee. As our driver unloaded us at the hotel he saw my knee and said, “You go put that in the ocean five minutes, then you can rip that m-f** right off!”

I looked at the map and decided that we weren’t much far from a local town that was surely dumping sewage into the ocean and decided not to follow the local advice... He was probably right that the salt would help heal it, but I’m glad I didn’t test the theory.
