Answer 1

Explanation:

(a) Methanoic acid is injected into the skin of a person during an ant's sting.

(b) Methanoic acid injected into the skin of a person during the nettle leaf hair sting.

The effect of methanoic acid can be neutralised by rubbing a mild base like baking soda solution on the stung area of the skin.
