Vinegar
Vinegar
Vinegar helps against wasp stings because they are alkaline but would not help for a bee sting because it is acidic. Bicarbonate of soda helps counteract the acidity of a bee sting. Ultimately time is the main healer.
if you get a bee sting the sting would be advible
Nails would rust in Alkaline because Alkaline has a strong Acid which rusts nails.
It doesn't.
Never heard of that. BUT for bees stings use bi carbonate of soda and for wasp stings use vinegar. Because bee stings are acid and the bicarbonate neutralizes it and wasp stings are alkaline so the acid neutralizes it.
Example sentence - I knew the wasp sting would be painful.
alkaline is used to neutralize acids! like if you get indegestion. If you were to use gaviscon it would have alkaline to stop it from burning/hurting your insides. Alkalis can be very dangerous depending on what part of the pH scale its on its also used in cleaners like bleaches, baking soda,household cleaners.......so basically its use to clean and neutralize
Vinegar would probably have no effect on a bee sting.
if you didn't wipe good enough it will sting later.
A pH greater than 7 is considered alkaline.
the acidic lime juice should bring the pH level back to neutral since the wasp sting is alkaline which causes the pH loevel to go up. This would netrulize it but it might not stop the pain. ---- Actually, the pH of wasp venom is between 7.2 and 7.5, so it is almost neutral. The use of vinegar or lemon juice is an old wives' tale and actually has no effect.
