I remember reading - some years ago - about bee & wasp stings - On sting is
acid and the other alkaline so the treatment for relief is vinegar for the
alkaline sting or bicarbonate of soda for the acid sting.

I can't remember which is which (probably something to do with my age) does
anyone know?

Wasp is alkaline so you need vinegar; bee and ant you need bicarb of
soda.

But the other day I caught a wasp down the back of my dress, and I found
antihistamine cream worked even better ;-)
