The chemicals left by a bee sting and wasp sting are slightly different. The wasp sting has a base which is neutralized by the vinegar. Bee stings are acidic and are not neutralized by the vinegar.
You put milk on a bee sting because a bee sting is full of acid and by putting an alkali solution on the sting it neutralises the sting (balances it out) so the sting doesnt hurt.
because it neutralises it
Put some mud on it.
Bee venom is acidic, but it is not the acidity that causes the pain and swelling of a sting: that is the result of two peptides, mellitin and apamin. Even if you could neutralize the acid, it would make no difference to the symptoms. In fact, as the venom has been injected under the surface of the skin, any alkali put on the surface of the skin that is strong enough to neutralize the acid would probably do more harm than good. Bee stings are acidic with a pH of 3.5
Put it in you're mouse. Put it in you're mouse.
if it is a bee sting it is an acid sting so then put vinegar an alkilie will level out the ph [the level of intensity in acid s and alkilies] and if it is a wasp sting put lemon juice or some mild form of acid on it and it will level it out
yes

pull out the stinger and put a bit of vinegar on it to ease the pain. Unles you are alergic to bee sting, in that case get medical help. Never pull the sting straight out as this pumps more poison in. Scrape it out sideways with a fingernail or blunt knife.
Usually the swelling lasts for a few days.
If you meant a 'bee stinger' - then yes. Unlike wasps, the sting of a bee has a tiny barb - when a bee stings something, the barb makes the sting stay put. This means the sting pulls out of the bees body - killing the bee in the process.
A wasp sting is alkali, so if you put an alkali on it, it would not work. To neutralise the sting, you would have to use something acidic, like vinegar, also known as acetic acid. If you want to know more, then I can tell you about bee stings. Bee stings are acidic, so you shouldn't put something acidic on it. Try something alkali, like baking soda, or ammonia. That should help to neutralise the bee sting. Hope that helps x
because it neutralises it
Adding vinegar to anything will only serve to lower the pH not raise it (acidic substances are of lower pH and alkaline substances have a higher pH).Bee stings are acidic and treatment of them requires the neutralisation of the venom by raising it to neutral.
Put some mud on it.
Vinegar is generally the best solution. and baking soda mixed in with warm water can ease the pain. :)
