Ammonia is basic and the idea is that it will neutralise the formic acid in the sting
The soda which is alkaline neutralizes the bee sting which is acidic. For wasp stings use vinegar. Vinegar is acidic and neutralizes the alkaline wasp sting.
to neutralise a bee sting you use alkaline substances; such as toothpaste, indigestion tablets(that can dissolve) washing up powder and washing up liquid
bee sting is acidic you can use bicarbonate of soda to cure the sting . bicarbonate of soda is a alkaline which will make acid and alkaline together neutralize the sting and wasps are same except that u can use vinegar since it is alkaline
Maybe it is, or maybe it isn't. It depends on a lot, such as the age of the Alkaline, or your blood type, or how your skin reacts to Acids and Alkalies. It also depends on the acid your NAOH (Sodium Hydroxide), is neutralizing with, in this case, a bee sting, HCO2H, (Methanoic acid, or Formic acid). The Bee`s acid has a pH(acidity) of 2.3. The Sodium Hydroxide has a pH(Alkalinity) of 14. Therefore the Sodium Hydroxide is stronger than the Methonoic Acid, and may result not only neutralizing an acid, but leaving behind severe burns and toxins in the skin.
When there is excessive level of ammonia in our body, and it is not properly excreted in by the liver, they tend to circulate in our blood. This is why blood is withdrawn to determine ammonia level.
they treat bee sting in the 1800 by cold food and snow
The soda which is alkaline neutralizes the bee sting which is acidic. For wasp stings use vinegar. Vinegar is acidic and neutralizes the alkaline wasp sting.
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.
You can use Acetaminophen for your Bee sting.
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
I prepared for the sting of the bee with an audible sigh.
Vinegar.This also works for some jellyfish stings, they use the same kind of sting. I also heard you could use urine.You can also use red-wine vinegar on bee stings.
to neutralise a bee sting you use alkaline substances; such as toothpaste, indigestion tablets(that can dissolve) washing up powder and washing up liquid
Remove sting with tweezer, clean wound with soap and water, use a mild antiseptic
a powder-filled capsule and ammonia
You could use a dock leaf if you have one.
Ammonia is an alkali and some people use it as a natural remedy for insect bites and stings. The alkali neutralizes the acid in the sting.
