To neutralize a wasp sting, the best thing to do is pour warm water with baking soda mixed into it. The baking soda water contain a weak alkali which will ease the pain of the acidic solution and would put it back to its normal pH.gWhich should Heal you're sting
Bees and wasps are everywhere, and sometimes it is hard to avoid being stung by them. If a person is stung, they can neutralize the sting with apple cider vinegar.
Ice helps and then there are sting meds you can buy.

Usually it takes a few hours for the swelling to go down. If you have a large local reaction to the stinger, the swelling will increase for the next 1 or 2 days but will subside after the course of about a week.

Toothpaste reduces the pain and swelling of a bee sting (because toothpaste is a base and the bee sting is acidic) Toothpaste doesn't help wasp stings because wasp stings and toothpaste are alkali. (However vinegar works well on wasp stings because vinegar is acidic)
If you swallowed a wasp it would obviously sting your mouth or your throat then you suck on a ice cube to reduce the swelling.
For any wasp sting, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. If the problem persists or gets worse, consult your physician.
As a form of ice, yes. Ice will reduce the swelling. A trick I've heard of and used on several occasions is to sterilize a penny and tape it to the sting. The copper in the penny reduces the swelling and at the end of the day, almost looks like you never got stung.

Usually the swelling lasts for a few days.
Well, wasp sting is more poisonous than bee sting
A wasp sting is acidic in nature. When a wasp stings, it injects venom that is slightly acidic, which can cause pain, swelling, and redness at the site of the sting. Applying a basic substance, such as baking soda, can help neutralize the acidity and alleviate some of the symptoms.
A wasp will sting when it feels threatened or scared.
the wasp sting is full of venom which is alkaline
The wasp sting venom is alkaline, and so can be treated with a mild acid like vinegar to reduce the pain. By contrast the bee sting is acidic. An easy way to remember is that the word 'bee' has fewer letters than wasp, and the word 'acid' has fewer letters than alkali.
yes wasp stings are alkali but bee stings are acidic
The nature of the bee and wasp sting is that they are usually inflammatory and acidic.
