acid
Wasp venom has a pH of 6.8 to 6.9, so is pretty well neutral.
Wasp stings are acidic in nature. The venom injected by wasps is mostly alkaline in pH, which can cause pain, redness, and swelling at the sting site.
yes wasp stings are alkali but bee stings are acidic
well.... bee stings are acidic and wasp stings are alkaline. both are insects.
Bee and wasp stings are acidic in nature, which is why they cause pain and inflammation when injected into the skin. Alkaline substances, such as household cleaners, can help neutralize the acidity of the venom and provide relief. It's important to seek medical attention if stung multiple times or have a severe allergic reaction.
acid
A wasp sting is a base because it is alkali.
It is an alkali
alkalis** x//**
the wasp sting is full of venom which is alkaline
The wasp sting venom is alkaline, and so can be treated with a mild acid like vinegar to reduce the pain. By contrast the bee sting is acidic. An easy way to remember is that the word 'bee' has fewer letters than wasp, and the word 'acid' has fewer letters than alkali.

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.
It neutralizes because an acid is added to the sting which is in a liquid form this sting is also an alkali this means that when you put a bit of acid in it makes it turn green which on the PH scale means that is is a neutral thing!

acid
A wasp sting is alkali, so if you put an alkali on it, it would not work. To neutralise the sting, you would have to use something acidic, like vinegar, also known as acetic acid. If you want to know more, then I can tell you about bee stings. Bee stings are acidic, so you shouldn't put something acidic on it. Try something alkali, like baking soda, or ammonia. That should help to neutralise the bee sting. Hope that helps x
