    I have a client that is an marine exploration company and they use deep water ROV's to bring up stuff from very deep water and everyone is required to wear rubber gloves when handling anything they bring up because of nasty bacterias!

    It is rare but does happen......

    Usually if you have lived near the ocean before and spent time in the water with a cut it heals faster...so there are 2 sides
