For non-emergency treatment, where life is not at risk use ice to reduce swelling. You can also use a "skeeter stik", which are also often used to relieve pain and itching. If you don't have such a stick, use some diluted ammonia.

Why do use vinegar to treat wasp stings?

It is a fallacy that you can neutralise wasp venom with vinegar. It came from people believing wasp venom was alkaline: in fact it isn't, it is chemically pretty well neutral. Vinegar is known to have some soothing action for certain skin conditions, but I think with wasp stings a lot of it is a placebo effect.


Can you give 3 examples of neutralisation in the home?

if you put vinegar on wasp stings it will help because wasp stings have alkali in it and vinegar is a weak acid but bee stings are different they are acidic so if you put toothpaste on it it will help (try not to get bee stings mixed up with wasp stings because it will hurt even more if you put toothpaste on wasp stings or vinegar on bee stings)

Are wasp stings acidic?

A wasp sting is not acidic but a bee sting is. A wasp sting is actually pH 10 alkali so if you had a wasp sting and put some fizzy drink on it, it SHOULD help because fizzy drinks are pH 4 and it should balance it out.
