How has neutralization reactions helped us from bee stings and wasp stings?
Thanks to neutralization, we can deal with bee stings and wasp stings much easier now. Once someone is stung by a bee, all they have to do is go indoors to prevent getting stung by any other bees in the area, quickly remove the stinger, and then neutralize it with a weak alkali. It’s the same with a wasp sting, but just neutralize it with a weak acid.
Soak a small bit of cotton wool in apple cider vinegar and place it on the wasp sting whilst applying a small amount of pressure. The acidity of the vinegar helps neutralise the wasp venom.
