I cut my foot one on a rock in the ocean and got an infection from a tropical sea based bacteria and spent like 4 days in like 37•c temp feeling like I was in an ice bath.
Sort of makes sense that salt water bacteria could infect us since the water in our blood is saline anyway. If you had an IV of fresh water you’d be in trouble

Salt only works against bacteria and virusses which are not used to endure higher concentrations. If you live in the sea, you are adapted to the concentrations of salt. They are your norm, what you need to properly function. And less salt may be harmful to you.
Many salt and freshwater species cannot live in the other habitat. This includes bacteria and fungi and such.
