Answer:

=》It's suggested to use soap to a person suffering from bee or ant bite because bee stings / ant bites contain acids.

=》Since soap is a base, when we apply soap to the sting / bite, neutralisation reaction will take place & the pain will soothe off.


■ Neutralization Reaction:
Acid + Base = Salt + Water

ANSWER

Because the ant bite or bee bite contains acid which gets neutralized by the base in the soap.
