1. Nature of sting of wasp.
2. Nature of lemon juice.

prettymady: Its correct as wasp sting contains Formic acid which gets neutralised on the application of lemon juice which is a base.
Animesh147: Lemon Juice contains Citric Acid which is an acid and Wasp Sting contains Baking Soda which is a base and this is how it would get neutralized.
prettymady: Sir citric acid is vry weak acid rathr its vry alkaline. Nd sting of wasp contains formic acid not baking soda.
