How has neutralization reactions helped us from bee stings and wasp stings?

Updated: 11/17/2022

Thanks to neutralization, we can deal with bee stings and wasp stings much easier now. Once someone is stung by a bee, all they have to do is go indoors to prevent getting stung by any other bees in the area, quickly remove the stinger, and then neutralize it with a weak alkali. It’s the same with a wasp sting, but just neutralize it with a weak acid.

Soak a small bit of cotton wool in apple cider vinegar and place it on the wasp sting whilst applying a small amount of pressure. The acidity of the vinegar helps neutralise the wasp venom.

How does toothpaste cure bee and wasp stings?

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)
