hmmm, few things soaked in pee seem to remain bacteriafree for long...;-) but seriously, yes - you can get a rash from it. Flushing is posssible, but if the water is really cold it will not be pleasant.
A duck bill pissette should not allow any water in the suit when not "in use", and gets rid of all the urine when you need to. They are not that difficult to manufacture yourself all you need is a scrap piece of neoprene of suitable size:-) you can find instruction on the web quite easily.
