The base present in a wasp sting is formic acid. Formic acid is a naturally occurring compound found in the venom of some species of wasps, including yellow jackets and fire ants. When a wasp stings, it injects a small amount of formic acid into the victim's skin, which can cause pain, redness, and swelling.
