Why is desalination so difficult?
yeah but I usually feel quite refreshed after coming out of the waves, but keep in mind we don’t need clean feelings to survive, we do need fresh drinking water

Salt overexposure is liable to dry up your skin and cause rashes/cracking leading to vectors for infection.

Is it? My parents have a salt water pool and swim in it daily through the summer.

Salt water pools contain 10x less salt than the ocean. You can safely drink from it.

And you're attributing this all to sea water exposure? My intuition is that sun exposure would be a bigger factor.
