Some ulceration is likely to happen if you're sitting or lying in salt 
water for extended periods, Clyde.  From personal experience, I 
can't tell you that you won't develop sores from occasional contact 
and rinses, but I can confirm that you will get them from extended 
saturation in salt water.
