Question

Moist baking soda can cure pain in bee sting while we need vinegar to add relief for the wasp sting. Why are the two remedies different ?

Answer 1

In bee sting,an acid is secreted by bee. So to neutralise the reaction and cause relief,a base i.e,baking soda is used.

In wasp string,a base is secreted by the wasp.so to neutrakise the reaction and cause relief,an acid, i.e,vinegar is used.
