You'd be wrong. That's why I mentioned abrasions on your skin. I didn't say on normal, healthy skin that it penetrates. Viruses can penetrate mucous membranes

You'd be wrong. That's why I mentioned abrasions on your skin. I didn't say on normal, healthy skin that it penetrates. Viruses can penetrate mucous membranes (the inside of your ear). Mucous membranes are the top spot where most diseases enter to the body. From there they enter to blood stream and spread to tissues, where ever they can spread. Other folks already corrected the mistaken belief on your ears. They are connected. That said, I'm not sure why you think that matters? It has no importance when we're talking about a pathogen entering the body.
