It helps because it neutralizes the specific area of bee’s sting.
Bee sting contains acidic toxins and when metal is applied on it which contains base, neutralizes the area. Because when acid combines with base it will form salt and water.
In such case baking soda can also be used because it is an alkaline solution and it will neutralize acidic toxin which is released by bee stings.
For this baking soda is mixed with water and by using cotton ball dipped in solution and apply on affected area can reduce this pain.
