Why are bee stings treated with ammonium hydroxide?

Ammonium hydroxide is sometimes used to treat bee stings because it can help neutralize the acidic venom injected by the bee. This can help reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation at the site of the sting. However, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper treatment of bee stings.


Bee sting pH?

Bee venom has a pH of around 4.5 to 5.5. The acidity of bee venom can cause a burning sensation and inflammation at the sting site. It is important to remove the stinger quickly to minimize the amount of venom injected.


Why it is not good to use sodium hydroxide to neutralise the acid in a bee sting?

Maybe it is, or maybe it isn't. It depends on a lot, such as the age of the Alkaline, or your blood type, or how your skin reacts to Acids and Alkalies. It also depends on the acid your NAOH (Sodium Hydroxide), is neutralizing with, in this case, a bee sting, HCO2H, (Methanoic acid, or Formic acid). The Bee`s acid has a pH(acidity) of 2.3. The Sodium Hydroxide has a pH(Alkalinity) of 14. Therefore the Sodium Hydroxide is stronger than the Methonoic Acid, and may result not only neutralizing an acid, but leaving behind severe burns and toxins in the skin.
