The Rattlesnake venom is highly Hemotoxic. The venom travels through the bloodstream, destroying tissue and causing swelling, internal bleeding and intense pain. Some subspecies also contain a neurotoxic component in their venom that may cause paralysis. Rattlesnake bites are rarely fatal to adult humans. If an anti-venom treatment is given within the first 1-2 hours, the probability of recovery is nearly 99%.

How does snake venom kill a person?
It depends on which species of snake you mean. Some snake venom attacks the prey's blood, preventing it from clotting (the victim bleeds to death internally) - other venom attacks the nervous system, shutting down the victim's breathing reflex (the victim suffocates) - another property is necrosis - where the venom destroys body tissue (vital body functions simply collapse). Snake venom can possess just one, or all three properties - depending on the species !

A bite from a coral snake injecting 3-5mg of venom, is usually fatal. Compare that to the Mojave rattle snake which would have to inject three times that amount.

How long would it take to die with a rattle snake bite if untreated?
It depends on the species, the amount of venom injected, and health of the victim. The eastern diamondback, the largest species, injects larger amounts of venom, and could kill in a matter of hours. The Mojave has the most toxic venom, ounce for ounce, and could also kill in that amount of time.
