The salt water pool is still a chlorinated pool.  When maintained properly, these irritations should not be so severe.  A common problem with salt water pools is that owners / operators believe this is a “set it and forget it technology”.   The pool water chemistry is evidentially off and the pool is probably not being shocked as it should be.  I imagine high chloramines are present.  If cyanuric acids are low, the chlorine will precipitate out and gaseous chlorine is formed.  Without a water analysis, I cannot pin point the problem, but I am sure it is a combination of things with the water chemistry.
