Why is vinegar applied to wasp stings?
It is widely supposed that by neutralising the alkali nature of a wasp sting with an acid such as vinegar the pain will disappear. In fact this perfect neutralisation of a tiny amount of venom under the skin with an indeterminate amount of unknown concentration vinegar is very unlikely to be achieved. The application of vinegar is more likely to be a placebo than a genuine treatment or remedy and this is confirmed by numerous other recommended remedies. These include copper coins, papaya, meat tenderizer, grass as well as many other proposed substances. Vinegar on wasp stings, like bicarbonate of soda on bee stings, is something of an old wives tale.
