Can ants enter the brain through our ear-canal?

The ear is devided into three parts,External ear,intermediate ear and the internal ear,there is a tiny membrane  (ear drum) separating between the external and intermediate ears, this membrane doesn't allow any thing to get into the deep structures of the ear unless it is perforated,and also the wax which present in the ear canal prevent any thing from entering in to the intermediate ear.\nabout the nose,there is no direct contact between the the nasal cavity and the brain,it's separated by the bones of the skull base.

it is a good question,better one is can the ants live in that environment.

Maybe ants get thirsty too. How do you know they're not trying to develop an ant beach front resort ? Or a city by the waterfront. What if there's some giant being staring from across the Galaxies looking at people by a beach asking the same question as you are ?

It lodges around your ear drum...like the first person said...it usually stays in your canal...until it ether evaporates or you pump it out

NO they dont drink water as such. they get water from the food they eat. as we know we see ants going around some sweet drinks or some kinda sugar cubes. all these contains water and so ants dont need extra water. Not only ants but there are many organisms which do not drink water for their entire life.

Humans can't output more than a watt or so of acoustical power (ref.). The resonant frequency of an elephant's head cavities would be related to a length no greater than its diameter, let's say about 2 feet or less, so about a few hundred Hz and up. At those frequencies one would expect the skin, fat and cranium to absorb a considerable percentage of incoming acoustical power. So this leaves maybe a few hundred milliwatts entering, say the ear. The extremely responsive parts of the ear could be permanently damaged. Other head parts will be thicker and more massive, resulting in much smaller response. Physical destruction of the brain seems very unlikely, but one couldn't rule out psychological damage.

I've never heard that, but small seeds are moved about by ants, so it is possible.

Ant colonies will fight each other, and ants can tell if an ant is from another colony through the use of pheromones, so the ant cannot join another colony.  Ants are also dependent on one another for survival.  They protect each other, and communicate the location of found food by using pheromones.  Without it's colony mates, a single ant will probably starve to death or be killed by other ants or some other predator.

No. And here's why: \n\nThe falling rock will create the compressions and rarefactions of air that are the external stimulus for the auditory receptors. \n\nSound, however, is more than just those compressions and rarefactions; for there to be a perception of sound there must be an organism to hear it. \n\nThis organism, in order to be able to hear a sound, must have a functioning auditory system that receives the external stimulus capable of transducing the stimulus from physical into electrical energy and have the proper neurotransmitters that will turn that electrical energy into chemical energy able to stimulate neurons. It must have uninjured neurons in the proper places that will receive that chemical energy and transform it back into electrical energy and back to chemical energy using the proper neurotransmitters to stimulate the next neurons in the chain. The organism must have all these neurons going to the proper areas of the brain that will receive the energy and impute meaning onto it from prior experience. This prior experience is why we (as verbal humans) label as sound the sensations coming from the compressions and rarefactions that hit our ears and go up the chain. Other organisms will not label the sensation as sound, but will behave in other appropriate manners indicating that they heard the sound.\n\nSo without an organism, there can therefore be no sound.

Ant brains are largest amongst insects.  Mushroom shaped brain appendages have function similar to the gray-matter of human brains.\n \nIt has been estimated that an ant's brain may have the same processing power as a Macintosh II computer.\n\nProbably not sentient in the way that we are. They cooperate with each other and have acute senses.

Go to the local pharmacy and ask for Boric Acid. Its a white powder, cheap and very effective at getting rid of an assortment of insect critters. Put it in a salt shaker and sprinkle around the ant infestion. The ants will die and they will all take some of the poison back to their nest where it'll kill off ants in the nest. Boric acid isn't dangerous to you, kids, cats or dogs but it's murder on insects.

I know dead ants attract more dead ants, so I would think the same concept would apply to flies.

Recent studies have cast some light on the phenomemon of\nsong-stickage. Although the 'why' is still under investigation, the\n'where' seems to be the auditory cortex of the brain. There is even a\nname for songs that tend to stick in your head. They are called\n"earworms."\n\n"If you've ever gotten a song stuck in your head, you know how\nannoying it can be. Researchers at Dartmouth University can't stop the\naggravation, but they do have a good idea what parts of the brain keep\nreplaying the music.\n\nUsing brain imaging techniques and a good CD collection, they found\nthat the auditory cortex, the same part of the brain that passes\ninformation from the ears to the brain, also holds onto musical\nmemories.

It seems that Opening with a question like this Can cause more response than you would be able to deal with .I would Worm my way out if I was you.\n\nNot sure on this I know a snail can\nI was wondering if an ant could get tics

Ants are always out exploring, and two things happen here:\n\n1. One ant will come across the sugar and will make a trail from there to the colony, soon hordes of ants will follow the trail to bring home the bacon.\n\n2. As long as there is moisture, a nearby and will actually smell the sugar from a few yards away. It does have a smell too. Once he stumbles across it, the same will happen as described earlier.

Ants have varying food sources AND they go through various lifecycles where they eat different things at different times of life.\n\nYes, they do usually go back to their nest and leave a chemical scent trail so the others can get back to where they found the food source.\n\nIt's possible that wood in the floor by the toilet or urine that hasn't been cleaned up, yet is attracting it.

The ants harvest leaves and take them to the burrow, a fungus decomposes them to make ant food, a mold parasitises the crop and a bacterium is a cure for the mold.  A menoge la quatro.
