Answered by rocka

Ant sting contains formic acid. When an ant bites, it injects this formic acid into the skin. This causes pain. Calamine solution contains zinc carbonate which is a base. Calamine solution neutralises the effect of acid of ant bite when applied on the skin.

Aparna1308: When an ant bites it injects methanoic acid in the body therefore to neutralise it calamine solution is put over because calamine is basic in nature

we apply calamine solution when an ant bites to prevent swelling and reduce the pain, pain is caused due to the methonic acid which is reduced to our body after they bite.
