It has a mild astringent action, it has a soothing and protective effect on the skin. When an ant bites, it injects formic acid. That\u2019s why calamine is used as an antidote because it's basic. Calamine is used as medication to relieve the itchiness, pain, and discomfort of skin irritation. This calamine, which is basic, neutralises the acid, which is the formic acid injected by the ant. A complex biological reaction is involved in this process.<\/span><br><span>&nbsp;<\/span>","subject":"Chemistry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Is it true that calamine solution is applied on the skin where the ant bites?
