Can an insect fly up your nose and eat your brain/lay eggs in your brain?
No. There is no direct connection such as a tube or anything that an insect could use to get from your nose to your brain. There is a documented case of someone who had a tomato seed stuck in their teeth. The seed germinated and the tomato plant grew up into their skull...

How do you calm a mosquito bite that is very swollen with a clear liquid seeping out?
Stay calm. It could be west Nile, in last year's outbreak, most people who were infected with the West Nile virus had no symptoms or experienced mild illness with fever. In outbreaks in other parts of the world, some persons also developed a mild rash or swollen lymph glands. In some individuals, particularly the elderly, West Nile virus can cause serious disease that affects brain tissue. At its most serious, it can cause permanent neurological damage and can be fatal. Encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) symptoms include the rapid onset of severe headache, high fever, stiff neck, confusion, loss of consciousness (coma), and muscle weakness. If any of these start happening call your doctor immediately, but the chances of it being west Nile are slim, so don't freak out and convince yourself that your sick.
Heart rate is too high, 115 beats per minute while resting, and the hospital dont know why, HELP PLEASE?
As a nurse, I can think of many answers to your question. First, 115 is not dangerous. Among other things, it could be caused by dehydration, fever, or just plain anxiety because you happened to check it, find it high once, and then worry about it. A lump under your arm, if it occurs intermittently, is probably a lymph node which will enlarge if there is an infection somewhere in the vicinity. Do you have a large zit? A mosquito bite? Toothache? Is there a reason you check your blood pressure every other day? If there is no medical reason, that indicates to me that your are possibly overly concerned with the state of your health and that alone can lead to increased anxiety and therefore, increased heart rate. Get up and out and find a passion to fill your mind. Exercise. Volunteer. Take classes. Focus on others. You'll be just fine. Don't worry.
Can an insect crawl into my brain via the nose?
No.There are tiny passages from your nose to your brain for the nerves of smell, but none large enough for an insect to pass through. There are some parasitic amoebae, however, that can infect the brain by this route. People who get water in their nose from swimming or other activities occasionally get fatal brain infections this way, but it’s pretty rare.UPDATE: Typos edited
What happens to the ear and brain if centipedes enter the ear, and you are not aware of it for a long time?
Any insect entering into ear canal can not harm you because a live centipedes/housefly/cockroach can not go inside your ear unnoticed even if you are asleep or drunk or sick. !Yes i repeat no harm can be done if one does not panic due to motion or buzzing caused by insect.Trouble starts only when attempts to kill this insects done.Please do not try putting oil,fizzy chemical reaction(as by instilling hydrogen peroxide etc)or any other tricks like inserting matchstick,or other similar pointed objects into ear canal,all ina hurry to kill the insect.PLEASE DO TRY TO REMAIN CALM INSPITE OF ALL BUZZING AND MOTION in ear and apply your most evolved organ amongst all species on earth i.e. your BRAIN ! Moreover there is NO ROUTE to brain from ears for the centipeds or leech or any other borer insect,neither it can make any burr hole from ear to brain.Now what to do when you feel a live insect into your is find a torch or mobile light and point in the direction of affected ear hole.GIVE 2 MOTIONLESS MINUTES to this live insect WHILE ILLUMINATING YOUR BEAUTIFUL EAR and sure it will come out without harm.!
Can a bug ear through your eardrum and to your brain?
I had a bug in my ear once. You know if you have a bug in there, you can hear it, trust me. But, no, it can't eat through to your brain. :) The only connection between your ear and your brain is through nerves, it's not just a big open hole that things can freely pass through.
Should I be concerned ...do you think this is a spider bite?
Hey guys...when I was getting ready for work this morning I noticed a spot the size of the tip of a needle on the inside of my arm. It had a teeny white head that kinda looked like a pimple does before you pop it. Of course I pinched it so the white would go away. Nothing really came out it was just like I pinched the top of the skin off. It is really small.... Well now it is 2am and it has gotten bigger thoughout the day and is now the size of a silver dollar and in the middle theres a tiny black/brown spot with white around it. It is very hot and hard and is very tender. Should I put something on it to draw it out? Like drawing creme or something to try and get out the infection... like u would do 4 a bee sting. There is no red line on my arm (you hear horror stories about that) just swellng and obvious infection. I don't remember being bitten....copy the link and see it. Your opinion? Should I be concerned... http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w82/j...
What should you do when an insect goes into your ear?
Most encounters of an insect in the ear are transient and insignificant. Many insects that enter the ear canal were likely merely exploring a dark recess, and will soon turn around or reverse direction. On occasion, the insect is too large or clumsy to escape on its own. That's when it makes sense to know what to do and what not to do. First, resist the urge to poke it. That may annoy the insect. If it is a stinging kind, the insect's revenge may be swift and painful. Furthermore, any tool you might use could, itself, cause damage to the ear canal or ear drum, or simply cause the insect to lodge a bit deeper into the canal. Similarly, spraying insecticide or any other product would be incredibly unwise. The insecticide may cause tremors in the insect (think of sharp leg spines repeatedly abrading the delicate ear tissues), and the pesticide may cause irritation - or worse - to the person. If the insect doesn't extract itself, a trip to a physician is advisable. S/he may use forceps to gently grasp and extract the beast, or may use a device to apply a little suction to the insect's body as a means of gaining purchase to facilitate removal. In a few cases, the insect may need to be gently anesthetized so it relaxes and can be more easily extracted. In a very few cases, there may be additional complications. Some kinds of flies may deposit their eggs within the ear canal and the larvae that hatch may invade a person's tissues. That's a condition termed aural myiasis, and it would certainly require medical intervention.
