Weird question about wounds and saltwater and the ocean

[Hooked On Quack]

What about a salt water pool's "healing powers ?"

 

[Robust Redhorse]

My "anecdotal" experience is that seawater does help cure lesions.




However, I would never advise that as treatment.




You never know if a boat 100 feet away just emptied it's holding tanks.

Salinity level is the key. Proximity to rivers is the biggest culprit in dilution and toxins

I know when I was a kid, we took a vacation to the beach. I had poison oak pretty bad. My dad told me the very first day we got there to go for a swim, by the second day the poison oak was dried up. When I lived in Florida every time I got poison oak, it was a beach trip time!!!
