A member asked:
Accidentally a mosquito entered into one of my nostril,i tried alot to get it out but ,it didn't come out of the nose. is there any danger to my health? where it enters from my nose?to the brain??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It would die quickly and the body would be trapped in the nasal mucus. From there it would dissolve over time or be sneezed out or swallowed. I doubt it would have any impact on you health.
