Best Answer

Rattlesnakes are entirely beneficial as long as they are left alone. They consume large numbers of rodents which can carry diseases harmful to humans and they damage or destroy human food and crops. If you mess with rattlesnakes, however, you could end up in the hospital for several days being treated for a venomous snakebite.
