A member asked:
Could an ant enter the ear and make damage in the ear (or the brain) or it is only a myth? thnx for answering
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: If you were conscious you would likely feel something and try to scratch your ear. Damage to the brain is unlikely. Brown ants usually don't go for patients ears much less do internal damage. There may be some other species of ants not aware of in the world.
