Eventually yes, however your body is very good at keeping itself warm. So the only way cold could kill the bacteria would be for your entire body inside and out to cool down to very cold temperatures. Unfortunately doing that would also mean you would be dead.

∙ 9y agoCold weather doesn't typically kill germs. While some organisms can develop ice crystals in their cells, which will kill them, most bacteria have evolved to lie dormant in a spore form, which protects them from destructive effects. This slows their growth, which is why refrigeration is so important to preventing food spoilage.
After they thaw, they continue in "active" form and grow/divide.
In the case of viruses, they tend to form crystalline structures with the ice, which makes them dormant as well, and they can return to bioactive state after they thaw.
Granted, viruses are "bioactive" as long as they can be injested or inhaled and come into contact with "target" tissue AND infect those cells.
