उत्तर

It has been found that rubbing vinegar on the stung area of the skin of a person gives him relief. The person has been stung by wasp.

Explanation:

When a wasp stings, it injects an alkaline (basic) liquid into the skin, which causes sharp pain and inflammation. Vinegar contains acetic acid, a mild acid that effectively neutralises the basic venom. This chemical neutralisation counteracts the sting, bringing immediate relief to the affected area. On the other hand, honey bees, ants, and nettle leaf hairs inject acidic liquids, which would only worsen if treated with vinegar.
