Are bee stings acidic?
Bee venom is acidic, but it is not the acidity that causes the pain and swelling of a sting: that is the result of two peptides, mellitin and apamin. Even if you could neutralize the acid, it would make no difference to the symptoms. In fact, as the venom has been injected under the surface of the skin, any alkali put on the surface of the skin that is strong enough to neutralize the acid would probably do more harm than good. Bee stings are acidic with a pH of 3.5
