People used to suck out the venom through the bite. This wasn't always effective though. They could never get all the venom out. The venom would usually spread through the body not long afterwards.

Do you die quickly if a rattlesnake bites you?

It depends on the species of rattlesnake, where on the body you were bitten and how soon you receive proper medical treatment. Without proper treatment it would take a day or more to die. If the bite is from a species with a particularly strong venom, especially containing neurotoxins, death may come quite quickly.

How did they cure rattlesnake bites in 1841?

If someone got bitten by a venomous snake, another pioneer would take aknife and cut an "x" at the bite location. They would then suck out theblood and hopefully the poison. Sometimes this worked and sometimes thisdidn't.If it didn't work the victim would most likely die. If they happen to belucky enough to survive, the body part that was bitten would normally haveto be amputated. If they were bitten on their core, death was almostcertain.
