Before the 1890s, antivenom had not yet been used and published as a cure for snake bites. In many cases, nothing could be done considering especially, even now that still holds true today, however, some still did nothing and let the victim simply wait it out-not all rattlesnakes bites are 100% fatal. Another possible option was to try alternative curing methods or cut off the invenomed site.

If 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.
