Damn. Didn’t think semen would… survive? those temps. Don’t think semen is technically alive since it can’t reproduce. Or is that kinda the opposite since it is specifically made for reproducing? E: Just looked it up and sperm is technically alive but not an organism.
Single cells like that or germs can often recover with minimal issue when exposed to low temperature. It’s why we freeze sperm and why the permafrost will release lots of fun for us pretty soon.
