No, that's ant.
A wasp sting is most definitely alkaline.

BTW, please don't top post - it messes the order of the replies. The

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?
