Question

Write a note on:

Ant bite
Wasp bite.

✓

Answer

1. Ant bite:

Whenever bees or red ants bite they inject an acid called formic acid.
These acids cause burning sensation and pain.
To suppress the pain, a suitable base in the form of calcium hydroxide (readily available at home) is applied to neutralise the formic acid.

2. Wasp bite:

When we are bitten by wasp, we feel the burning sensation and pain.
It is due to an alkaline substance injected by the insect.
To neutralize the alkalinity we use vinegar which is an acid to neutralise.
