It is a fallacy that you can neutralise wasp venom with vinegar. It came from people believing wasp venom was alkaline: in fact it isn't, it is chemically pretty well neutral.
Vinegar is known to have some soothing action for certain skin conditions, but I think with wasp stings a lot of it is a placebo effect.

Never heard of that. BUT for bees stings use bi carbonate of soda and for wasp stings use vinegar. Because bee stings are acid and the bicarbonate neutralizes it and wasp stings are alkaline so the acid neutralizes it.
Vinegar.This also works for some jellyfish stings, they use the same kind of sting. I also heard you could use urine.You can also use red-wine vinegar on bee stings.
A wasp sting is alkali, so if you put an alkali on it, it would not work. To neutralise the sting, you would have to use something acidic, like vinegar, also known as acetic acid. If you want to know more, then I can tell you about bee stings. Bee stings are acidic, so you shouldn't put something acidic on it. Try something alkali, like baking soda, or ammonia. That should help to neutralise the bee sting. Hope that helps x
