Salts formed by the combination of a strong acid and a strong base are neutral, with a pH value of 7.

Both methods involve the application of substances that counteract acidic compounds. Baking soda neutralizes formic acid in bee stings by acting as a base, while dock plant leaves contain compounds that neutralize methanoic acid from nettle stings, providing similar relief ...
