gunpowder and salt As it turns out, rattlesnakes are able to control the amount of venom that they deliver and they benefit by not wasting the venom on an animal much too large to eat. Most people bitten by rattlesnakes stand a fairly good chance of receiving a sub-leathal dose of venom so almost anything you do for treatment that itself doesn't kill the victim will stand about as good a chance of resulting in the victim's survival. Whiskey is often offered as a cure in the movies...that is probably about as bad a treatment as any but, even so, there were survivors.
they had to cut exactly on the fang marks and suck as many blood venom as they could.
Is this question supposed to be asking how the pioneers following the Oregon Trail in the 1800's dealt with rattlesnake bites? If so, then someone else will need to provide an answer. If not, then the place name is not relevant to the question. The answer below is for current treatment.
Rattlesnake bites are "cured" the same no matter where the person is-by medical personnel using antivenin to counter the venom. The only catch with antivenin is that the snake's type has to be identified so they know which antivenin to use (if there is any). Your only other option is to use first aid measures, tough it out, and hope that you aren't severely maimed or disfigured by the damage that rattlesnake poison does to the human body. Since first aid measures won't cure the poison, they won't be listed here.
But it was possible to treat. **** is where you will go.
drink lots of water and try to take it out. drink lots of water and try to take it out.

∙ 8y agoIf someone got bitten by a venomous snake, another pioneer would take a knife and cut an "x" at the bite location. They would then suck out the blood and hopefully the poison. Sometimes this worked and sometimes this didn't.If it didn't work the victim would most likely die. If they happen to be
lucky enough to survive, the body part that was bitten would normally have to be amputated. If they were bitten on their core, death was almost certain.

Things You'll Need:Soap and water Benadryl Cold compress Poison control numberSoap and waterBenadrylCold compressPoison control numberStep 1Determine if you can treat the sting yourself. A scorpion sting feels much like being stuck with a straight pin. You will probably experience swelling, redness and numbness around the affected area. You may see a bruise or black area form. However, if the sting results in blurry vision, tingling, involuntary eye movements, impaired speech, difficulty breathing, convulsions or hyperactivity, seek medical attention right away. If you are unsure, visit the nearest hospital to find out if the sting is poisonous. It is a good idea if someone else drives in case you experience blurry vision or shortness of breath.Step 2Wash the inured area with soap and warm water if you are treating the sting yourself. If you are hiking in the woods, make sure that the water has been properly filtered and clean. You can also apply a cold compress to the area for about 10 to 15 minutes at a time.Step 3Call your doctor to find out if you need a tetanus shot and call the poison control center at (800) 362-0101 to discuss the sting and any immediate dangers. Tell the rep about any possible symptoms you may be experiencing.Step 4Elevate your injured limb to heart level if your arm or leg is stung. Keep weight off the area and ensure the sting stays isolated and clean.Step 5Take an antihistamine like Benadryl to help prevent extra swelling and itching. Call your doctor or poison control center first and ask about any complications with any other medication that you are currently taking.Read more at Trails.com: How to Treat a Scorpion Sting | Trails.com http://www.trails.com/how_960_treat-scorpion-sting.html#ixzz1wLyzFKsaRead more at Trails.com: How to Treat a Scorpion Sting | Trails.com http://www.trails.com/how_960_treat-scorpion-sting.html#ixzz1wLzkJkEa
