Fact of the Day: 28/02/2022

Have you ever tasted snow as it fell from the sky, or know anyone who has? Is snow really that healthy to consume? According to NPR, while there may be higher pesticide concentrations in backyard snow, those concentrations are still low, and eating small amounts of snow does not cause any damage (Bramley par. 11). So, as long as you only have a little bit of snow, it will not drastically affect your health.
