here is the correct answer...

.

Bee or ant injects formic acid into our skin, while biting. Injection of acid by ant or bee results in pain at the place of bite. Rubbing baking soda over the skin gives relief from pain due to ant or bee sting. Baking soda, which is a base, neutralizes the effect of acid injected by bee or ant.

Answer: Using a mild base or an acid.

Explanation:

An insect can release either acid (like bees) or base (like wasps) into our skin through its bite/sting. If the insect's sting is acidic, one should immediately rub mild base like CaCO3,Ca(OH) etc. And if the insect's sting is basic like that of wasps,one should apply mild acid like lemon juice, acetic acid etc.

I hope it helps.
