Explanation:

Ant Sting: Ant sting or bee sting contains methanoic acid. Methanoic acid is also known as formic acid. 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. Another base, such as zinc carbonate (Calamite solution) is also used in case of ant or bee sting
