If a very small insect(so small that it is rarely visible by naked eyes) enters my ear, can it reach to my brain from there. what severe effects can it cause? also tell me, is it possible for it to enter minute skin pores present all over my body?

: Basically the answer to your questions is no. The tympanic membrane inside the ear serves as a barrier and seals off the ear from the outside world and the bottom of your pores are also sealed.
