The use is to neutralise the sting or bite.

they use the pH scale
lol go and read your textbook!
formation of protocells that use RNA to reproduce themselves
Wasps use their strong mandibles to eat food.
Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. Sodium bicarbonate is a base compound. So it can be used to remove acidity.
Stings mostly contain HCOOH , so to neutraliize the acid, Alkalies are used
stings and bites usually fill the swollen area with acid (ants-formic acid) therefore to ease the itching a neutralisation reaction is performed by applying basic solution over the swollen area (calamine)
wasp stings are very strong alkali's and if you counter act them with some sort of acid it would neutralise the sting e.g. use lemon juice or any strong acidic substance.

Many thing food and bacteria fighting many household products
the best thing to prevent bug bites and stings is to use dryer sheets and bug spray.
nuetraliation is used on teeth and stings and small experiments in class stings like: neetles bee and wasp, and jellyfish. An acid to put on them is vinegar. and teeth people use toothpaste which already has alkalines and acids in it .
It is recommended to use plastic gloves, protection goggles and if it is necessary a plastic apron .

Generally speaking... no. It creates lots of heat and sometimes a BOOM. It depends how diluted they are.
Radio immuno assay vials are designed for use with common acids, alkalis, and solvents at room temperature. The polystyrene vials are designed for use with mild bases and weak acids
You can use base toothpaste to brush your teeth as your teeth contain an acid which means when you are cleaning your teeth the base of the toothpaste mixes with the acid of your teeth equalling a neutralisation.
