I think the baking soda actually does draw out & drys up some of the fluids that go with a sting. If I am outside near mud or where I can make mud, I do pack it on stings or poison ivy or stinging nettle. Always has worked for me.
Was out backpacking with my daughter & she got into some poison ivy or oak. Packed mud on it, let it dry, brushed it off & all the reaction was gone & it had been all over her arm.
I have used it on stings & even jellyfish stings & it helps.....though I used wet sand on the jelltfish stings
