Is this dangerous?

My 11 year old daughter steps out of the hot tub and rolls in snow for one second then jumps back into the hot tub. Is this dangerous?

Hello

No it’s not dangerous but she may develop a rash due to sudden changes in temperature. Feel better.,
No, actually, that can be very healthful. There is research to show that that practice increases the level of infection fighting cells in your bloodstream to help protect you from sickness.
