Question
What happens during a wasp sting? What is its remedy?
Solution
When a wasp stings a person, it inserts an alkaline solution into the person's skin. This causes severe pain and irritation. The remedy is to apply a weak acid, such as vinegar, to the wound. The acid neutralises the alkaline solution and soothes the pain.
