Thanks for your complete answer.

"Acids cause tissue damage (as do bases) because they interfere with protein
function or destroy proteins outright."
I agree with this.
Looking for a kinetic of varroa killing with the solution described I made
some experiments that I wrote answering to Mr. Richard Cryberg
Suppose varroa is sucking the Glyceryl mono oxalate from the chitin hairs
of the bees as it does with other liquids from the same bee. Solvatation of
the product, Could it be a "slow" reaction because of size of the anion?
Then it could occur inside the mite whit enough water to solvatation. By
this way many interactions with proteins and tissues could be occur.
