Why are bee stings treated with ammonium hydroxide?

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.
What is the pH of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide and water solution?
Since the dissociation constant for hydrogen peroxide is 2.4 x 10^-12 (very very small) if only a 3% concentration were to be mixed with water the pH would be negligible. However the main reason Hydrogen peroxide stings when you spill or pour it on a cut to disinfect it is because of its fairly high reactivity.
Which of the bites and stings could be neutralizd with bicarbonate of soda?
Bee stings can be neutralized with bicarbonate of soda. You can make a paste with baking soda and water and apply it to the affected area to help alleviate the pain and reduce swelling.
Why treat bee stings with b-carbonate soda?
Bee stings are acidic. Bicarbonate of soda is alkaline and so neutralises it. ==================== There is a great deal of misinformation concerning this issue, and so the statement above is essentially nonsense. There are all kinds of old wives' tales concerning treatments for various kinds of bites or stings. These are generally without merit. Bee stings contain a soup of chemicals including neurotoxins, proteins and enzymes which cause pain, itching, and swelling. The fact that the liquid may be acidic has little to do with the body's response and adding baking soda, a base will do very little, if anything. Consider this: The stinger injects the fluid subcutaneously. Adding baking soda to the surface of the skin won't do anything for the chemicals below the skin. Therefore, there is no reaction between NaHCO3 and any acids as the question is implying. So why does your skin feel better when a poultice of NaHCO3 in water is placed on top of the skin? The water evaporates and cools the site where there is inflammation, and helps reduce swelling. Anything which cools the skin will make it feel better. To really counteract the effect of the proteins and enzymes in the skin after being stung, an antihistamine must be administered.

What is the use of acids and alkalis for stings and bites?
Acids can help neutralize alkaline substances (such as bee stings) by reducing their pH, while alkalis can help neutralize acidic substances (such as ant stings) by increasing their pH. However, it's important to note that this method may not always be effective or appropriate, and it's best to consult a medical professional for proper treatment of stings and bites.
