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
Can you treat a bee bite with a copper penny?
Bees don't bite, they sting. Usually, the stinger is left in you. You're first step is to get the stinger out before worrying about any bs with copper pennies. (edit) as a bee's sting injects acid, you can neutralise this with an aklaline solution. I suggest baking soda mixed with a little water, and putting that on the sting :)
