Answer: Methanoic acid

(Also known as Formic Acid)

Methanoic acid is injected by the ant sting.

its effect can be neutralized by applying any alkali.

It may be-

sodium carbonate-soda(soap)

sodium bicarbonate-baking soda

or any other cream which has an alkaline base.

if you see the ingredients of creams or lotions that are to be applied after insect bite, you will alkali in it.

alkali neutralizes acid by the formation of salt and water

\boxed{Acid+Base---->Salt+Water}\\\\eg. -\\HCOOH+NaOH----> HCOONa+H_2O
