A wasp sting is not acidic but a bee sting is. A wasp sting is actually pH 10 alkali so if you had a wasp sting and put some fizzy drink on it, it SHOULD help because fizzy drinks are pH 4 and it should balance it out.
the wasp sting is full of venom which is alkaline
if you put vinegar on wasp stings it will help because wasp stings have alkali in it and vinegar is a weak acid but bee stings are different they are acidic so if you put toothpaste on it it will help (try not to get bee stings mixed up with wasp stings because it will hurt even more if you put toothpaste on wasp stings or vinegar on bee stings)
Wasp stings are acidic in nature. The venom injected by wasps is mostly alkaline in pH, which can cause pain, redness, and swelling at the sting site.
No. Bee venom is acidic anyway, and wasp venom is chemically neutral, so in neither case will any form of acid help.
Depends on what you mean. Anything too basic or acidic may cause a sting. For example, wasp stings are basic, and bee stings are acidic.
Toothpaste reduces the pain and swelling of a bee sting (because toothpaste is a base and the bee sting is acidic) Toothpaste doesn't help wasp stings because wasp stings and toothpaste are alkali. (However vinegar works well on wasp stings because vinegar is acidic)
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.
It is a fallacy that you can neutralise wasp venom with vinegar. It came from people believing wasp venom was alkaline: in fact it isn't, it is chemically pretty well neutral. Vinegar is known to have some soothing action for certain skin conditions, but I think with wasp stings a lot of it is a placebo effect.
A wasp sting is acidic in nature. When a wasp stings, it injects venom that is slightly acidic, which can cause pain, swelling, and redness at the site of the sting. Applying a basic substance, such as baking soda, can help neutralize the acidity and alleviate some of the symptoms.
Vinegar helps against wasp stings because they are alkaline but would not help for a bee sting because it is acidic. Bicarbonate of soda helps counteract the acidity of a bee sting. Ultimately time is the main healer.
yes wasp stings are alkali but bee stings are acidic
yes it is
