उत्तर
Wasp sting contains an alkaline liquid.
Explanation:
When a wasp stings, it injects a basic venom into the skin, which typically registers an alkaline pH due to the presence of amines and neurotoxins. This alkaline solution irritates the tissue, causing localised swelling, sharp pain, and a strong burning sensation. Because of its chemical nature, the discomfort from a wasp sting can be effectively minimised by applying a mildly acidic home remedy, such as vinegar, to neutralise the venom.
