This is a highly contentious topic. The primary problem substances in wasp stings are formic acid, acetylcholine, and seratonin. All three cause an inflammatory response, which is what produces the pain. If you act fast, a good buffer like baking soda would help neutralize the acid, but you would still have the problem of the other two inflammatory substances, which can be more powerful. An anti inflammatory drug like ibuprofen could help. Most often, the medical treatment of choice are topicals such as cortisone. Nothing known at this point in time, however, can "neutralize" a wasp sting.
