insect injects a toxin into the victim. When

a treatment that might stop an ant bite from
itching or hurting.

Respuesta :

Iqta

Answer:

Treating the affected area with an alkaline solution or substance such as baking soda.

Explanation:

Neutralization Reaction:

  • When an acid and an alkali react chemically, they form water and a corresponding salt. This reaction called the neutralization reaction.
  • acid + base (alkali) → salt + water
  • E.g HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O
  • The formic acid that the ant injects can be neutralization by application of an alkali.
  • In order to prevent a serious allergic reaction, antihistamines must also be administered.
