Can you paralyse yourself when piercing your ear?
Not directly, no. There have been cases where people get infections that progress to the point that they cause permanent damage and I know of case where an infection triggered an autoimmune disorder and caused paralysis.Even if it doesnt typically cause paralysis, it isnt a wise decision to pierce yourself. Save up and go to a professional :)

You have greenyellow saliva and am stuffed up and heavy cough What is wrong?
Sounds like a moderately severe respiratory infection. The color of the expectorant assures us that an infection is in progress. This would be a good time to consider getting a doc to prescribe some antibiotics and perhaps an expectorant/anti-tussive. If you starting running a fever and it climbs over 103 orally, you're out of safe options -- off to the ER you go.

Which of the following are severe signs of the nerve agent exposure?
Nerve agents are chemical warfare agents that have the same mechanism of action as OP organophosphate pesticides or insecticides. They are potent inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase . Cholinergic syndrome consisting of copious respiratory and oral secretions, diarrhea and vomiting, sweating, altered mental status, autonomic instability, and generalized weakness that can progress to paralysis and respiratory arrest.The amount and route of exposure to the nerve agent or OP pesticide, the type of nerve agent or pesticide will contribute to the time of onset and the severity of illness. For example, inhalation of a nerve agent or an OP pesticide leads to a quicker onset of poisoning with more severe symptoms when compared to with dermal exposures, given the same amount of agent.
