No. There are some homeopathic remedies that are minimally effective but chewing tobacco isn't one of them. Once ago people used what little they had for whatever they needed. Sometimes the result was satisfactory but sometimes it simply served as a placebo. Think mom kissing a boo boo.
I disagree entirely. I've had a wasp sting and had very intense pain and it stopped immediately with wet tobacco applied directly. I've read it is because nicotine acts as a local anesthetic for the pain. So not a cure so much as a pain killer.
Chewing tobacco spit. Gross but true.
You place an acid onto the wound to neutralise the alkaline bee sting.
It's unlikely. If you have a severe reaction to bee stings, you should always carry an epi pen with you.
Never heard of that. BUT for bees stings use bi carbonate of soda and for wasp stings use vinegar. Because bee stings are acid and the bicarbonate neutralizes it and wasp stings are alkaline so the acid neutralizes it.
My father's old remedy for treating bee stings was to take a cigarette and apply the tobacco to the sting area. It might burn at first, but it combats against pain later.
Onions contain enzymes that break down proteins in bee venom, which can help reduce swelling and pain from a bee sting. Applying onion juice to a bee sting can also have a soothing and anti-inflammatory effect on the skin. However, individual experiences may vary and it's always best to seek medical advice if a bee sting reaction is severe.

No, tobacco does not help with bee stings. It is not recommended to apply tobacco or any other unconventional remedies to treat bee stings. It's best to remove the stinger, clean the area, and monitor for signs of allergic reaction. If symptoms are severe, seek medical attention.
Because a bee sting is acidic, applying a small amount of weak alkali (ie vinegar) will slightly allevaite the symptoms but will not completely relieve the pain as there are toxins in the "sting" which are injected under the skin.

To cure a bee or wasp sting, first remove the stinger by scraping it out with a blunt object. Clean the area with soap and water, then apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. You can also take an over-the-counter antihistamine or apply calamine lotion to help with itching.
The nature of the bee and wasp sting is that they are usually inflammatory and acidic.
