Can you give 3 examples of neutralisation in the home?

if you put vinegar on wasp stings it will help because wasp stings have alkali in it and vinegar is a weak acid but bee stings are different they are acidic so if you put toothpaste on it it will help (try not to get bee stings mixed up with wasp stings because it will hurt even more if you put toothpaste on wasp stings or vinegar on bee stings)

What are the symptoms of bites and stings on pets?

Depending on what has stung/bitten your pet; the most common symptom is swelling of the area. I have a dog that is allergic to bee and wasp stings, she has had her whole muzzle swell up and vomited after being stung. The vet treated her with injectable Benadryl and a steroid; she was fine after a couple hours. Poisonous snakes can also cause swelling, to be safe take your pet to the veterinarian if you're not sure! If that is not an option search online for a proper dosage of Benadryl oral solution (available at most stores), but that will not work for snake bites! (Most cities have an emergency vet)

What kind of ant is orange and black?

I believe what your are describing is actually a wingless wasp, often called 'cattle ants', 'cow ants', or 'velvet ants'. They are actually in the wasp family and vary in color from red to orange to yellow, one way to tell they are a wasp and not an ant is that they are 'hairy' and much larger then any typical ant (this answer assumes you live in the US).


Describe what happens in an allergic reaction?

depends really: if it is an allergy to nuts then the mouth and lips can swell, the upper airway can close making it hard to breathe, you might break out in a rash or hives, you might throw up or have diarrhoea, you might have stomach pains or you might pass out. it wont be all of these at once or possibly at all. it might only be one or 2. the same goes for bee stings except i dont think your mouth and lips swell. in a reaction to flowers you might start sneezing or coughing. it all depends on what the person is reacting to.

What happens if a cat has been stung by a bee or wasp on its paw?

It depends. You should call your local vet and ask about it. If your cat has allergies to bee/wasp stings I would definatley take it to the vet soon as possible. If the vet on phone tells you its nothing then you shouldn't worry about it, but you can take it if you want just incase.
