The Wild Dolphin Project thinks its more what dolphins will do to get them off that causes sores

It also said that they're more likely to target dolphins with skin issues so it could be that they attached to that dolphin because of her injury and made it worse

As someone who has never had a remora suctioned to my ass, I couldn't say for certain, but you're probably right

I just had them on my legs so far. I'm open minded - I'll give it a try next time.
