Bird crap and petroleum distillates from asphalt shingles plus all of the chemicals in our air until they settle on a nice surface waiting for rain or snow to take them into the soil or into the mouths of innocents following g'mas advice.
Silence is not preferable to factual warnings about real health hazards. Many parents have learned after it is too late that toxic waste is subtle until it does harm beyond repair.

Ron, not all icicles have to come from roofs. And I always make sure that any icicles eaten are from that last layer of many snows. We've never been sick so I guess I'm picking out the clean ones.

Snow melt doesn't come from the top layer but the lowest layer where the heat comes from. Any melt off from trees or roofs gets coated with whatever passes by in the atmosphere. Significant mercury, radioactive waste and other industrial pollutants drift here from Asia. Think massive coal burning and absolute lack of any filtering or treatment before the pollutants take a ride in the atmosphere.

Not getting overtly sick doesn't indicate lack of exposure. The impacts of such contamination are cumulative over time.

Actually, Ron, a well insulated house with more than a foot of snow on the roof - I'd bet it is the top layer melting from exposure to the sun, not the bottom being melted from heat from the home. I'm with you RSG - lick away - it's not like you spend 6 months solid licking icicles up here!

gabbygirl. Well insulated homes are not the rule up here and icicles are rare where the insulation is good. I have no problem with adults exposing themselves to toxic waste, but someone should be more concerned with the vulnerability of children to such exposure. I don't find it amusing because I've read of the devastating impact on children of mercury, dioxin, lead and the other substances that poison our fish and birds from air pollution. Read the maximum safe amount of fish you should eat from California waters. The Department of Fish & Game publishes the warnings to inform the public.

Hee-hee! Will's quoting Zappa!

When I was a little girl, hiking around in the forest in Arrowbear, I found these beautiful Root Beer icicles hanging from a tree. I gleefully reached up and snapped one off for a taste. Sap! Full of sap from the tree...stuck to my pretty little mittens. What a disappointment...

Eating icicles is kinda like "licking your roof".

Will it kill or sicken you? Probably not.

Do I want to? Not really.

don't eat the snow...especially from your roof. Got it.
