Will There Be Possibility To Have Pin Worm Infection In Nose?

hi
no pin worms have a specific lifecycle where in they just get through the nails to the gastrointestinal tract to lungs some time,but that doesnot go to the nose and ear.
there is a condition called nasal myaisis in which the flies lays eggs in nose and these gets converted to larvae and then these causes the formation of worm like organism.
but pin worm is not a nasal condition for sure.
