HI,

That's a great question. I used Google to search for salt water bacteria. One paper I found which helps answer this question is: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article ... 6-0062.pdf (Skip right to the summary section)

There are many more bacteria in fresh water than in salt water. There are some in salt water, too, and some that can be just as dangerous as the many fresh water bacteria.

As far as blood - there should not be bacteria living in the blood (see a condition here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteremia where bacteria is in the blood).
