How can fish live in salty water when salty water hurts humans with a skin injury?

The ocean has always been salty and it is thought that life evolved in the oceans. This means that salt water fish have mechanisms for dealing with the salt in their environment. However, land animals have adapted to live away from the sea and have developed a waterproof covering (skin) to protect us from drying out. (They sort of carry a bit of the ocean with them). This means that if you were to dip your injury into SEA WATER (which is salty) you would NOT find this painful. The water must be made MORE SALTY than sea water before it would hurt. Water this salty would also hurt most fish.


Why do you float in water with tons of salt?
