Which substance can help give relief from acid in an ant sting?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Mild solution of baking soda

An ant sting commonly introduces formic acid into the skin. Baking soda, sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO₃), is mildly basic, so a suitable mild solution can help neutralise some of the acid and reduce irritation. Lemon juice and vinegar are acidic and would not neutralise the sting acid, while hydrochloric acid would add more acid. Therefore, option A is correct; practical treatment should still follow appropriate medical advice.
