उत्तर

Methanoic acid is injected into the skin of a person during an ant sting. An ant sting is acidic because methanoic acid is injected into the body, causing severe pain and an itching sensation. Applying a baking soda solution (a base) on the skin soothes the pain by neutralising the acid. Thus, the effect of these stings is neutralised.
