why does bee-sting cause pain and irritation?rubbing of baking soda on the sting area gives relief.how?

Answered by admin @



When a bee stings, it injects an methanoic acid into the skin which causes immense pain and irritation. We can get relief from this acid by rubbing baking soda on the affected area. This is because, being a base, baking soda neutralises the effect of methanoic acid injected by bee sting which is an acid and cancels its effect and gives relief.

Hope this helps you!!!
