Can people get sick by eating snow?

Answer 1

the only reason is that if it is on something that has germs on it such as a car or a roof you get the germs to and DON'T EAT THE YELLOW SNOW!!!

Answer 2

Generally, eating snow that has not been contaminated or mixed with pollutants is safe for most healthy adults. However, consuming large amounts of snow can lower body temperature, leading to hypothermia. It is also important to be cautious when eating snow in areas with high levels of pollution or if the snow has been in contact with contaminants.

Answer 3

I don't see why you cant eat snow. Snow is edible? So you can eat it. All it is is ice.

Maybe whoever told you that you cannot eat snow said it because it is dirty when it hits the ground.

If it's clean, then its perfectly fine to eat, as it is basically frozen water. However , if it has mud and dirt all over it, it's not healthy.
