Freezing will prohibit the growth of bacteria unless they are what's called "sporific," which means in their own little protective shell. But cold germs don't sporify. Come on, live a little and go for it!

no, freezing means it stays still. Most organisms die in extream heat not extream cold. Including germs.

It will cause the germs to become very slow and many will die, but when warmed back up they will continue to breed and cause sicknesses.

Some bacteria can survive freezing.
