The use is to neutralise the sting or bite.

Wasps use their strong mandibles to eat food.
Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. Sodium bicarbonate is a base compound. So it can be used to remove acidity.
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.
stings and bites usually fill the swollen area with acid (ants-formic acid) therefore to ease the itching a neutralisation reaction is performed by applying basic solution over the swollen area (calamine)
Alkalis and acids can be dangerous if handled improperly. They can cause burns, irritation, and other harmful effects if they come into contact with skin, eyes, or other tissues. It is important to use appropriate precautions when working with alkalis and acids to prevent accidents and injuries.
When a wasp stings, it injects venom which is acidic in nature. Alkalis (such as baking soda mixed with water) can help neutralize the acidic venom, reducing pain and inflammation. However, it's important to seek medical help if there is a severe allergic reaction.
the best thing to prevent bug bites and stings is to use dryer sheets and bug spray.
On contact to skin and other body tissue many acids and alkalis can cause chemical burns and even burn through flesh. In a ddition to this, many are also toxic.

Yes, concentrated acids and alkalis are corrosive substances. They can cause burns and tissue damage upon contact with skin or eyes. It is important to handle them with care and use appropriate safety measures when working with them.
The use of acid or alkali to treat stings or bites depends on the type of injury. Acid can help neutralize alkaline venom from some insects, while alkali can neutralize acidic venom from others. It's important to identify the type of venom before applying any treatment. In general, it's best to seek medical attention for severe stings or bites.

Scientists use acids, bases, and alkalis in their labs for various purposes such as adjusting pH levels, catalyzing reactions, and extracting materials. Acids are used to lower pH, bases to raise pH, and alkalis are a subset of bases that are water-soluble and have a pH greater than 7. They are chosen based on their specific chemical properties to facilitate experiments and research.
It is recommended to use plastic gloves, protection goggles and if it is necessary a plastic apron .
