As a doctor, I understand that having an insect go up your nose can be a scary and concerning experience. However, it's important to know that it's highly unlikely that the insect can kill you or cause an infection or enter your brain.
The human nasal passage is designed to filter out foreign objects and prevent them from entering the lungs. The nose has tiny hairs and a layer of mucus that trap foreign objects such as insects and prevent them from going further up into the respiratory system.
In rare cases, if an insect manages to go up the nose, it may cause discomfort, irritation, and inflammation in the nasal passages. However, it's highly unlikely that the insect will be able to reach the brain or cause any significant harm.
If you experience any symptoms such as pain, swelling, or difficulty breathing after the incident, it's important to seek medical attention immediately.
