The Romanian University has published the results of the study on whether it is safe to eat snow under what conditions.
According to the results of the research, it is safe to eat snow which is "old" half a day.
Istvan Mate from the University of Transylvania told the AP that it is safer to eat during the colder months, but that it is not safe if the snow is "old" for two days.
Scientists, who conducted the experiment, collected snow from the park and circular stream in the central part of Romania in January and February last year and then placed it in sterile, hermetically sealed boxes.
Then they tried to develop bacteria in the snow. One day, five bacteria developed per milliliter in January, while in February their number increased four times.
