A bee sting contains an acidic substance. Which substance is suitable to reduce its pain?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Sodium hydrogen carbonate solution

This is an application of neutralisation. Since the bee sting is described as acidic, a mild base can partly neutralise the acid and reduce its irritating effect. Sodium hydrogen carbonate, commonly called baking soda, is mildly basic, so option C is correct. Vinegar, lemon juice and tamarind juice are acidic and would not be suitable for neutralising an acidic sting. In real treatment, the wound should also be handled according to appropriate medical guidance.
