No, rattlesnakes are not poisonous but they are venomous. Poison must be ingested (eaten) to be toxic while a venom must be injected. Rattlesnakes can be safely eaten and the venom will not harm you unless you have an open wound in the mouth or digestive tract.

∙ 8y agoNo part of a rattlesnake is poisonous. However, the rattlesnake is venomous and the head is the part of the snake you need to be concerned with, not the tail. A poison must be ingested to kill. A venom must be injected. You can drink rattlesnake venom with no ill effects unless you have a sore or cut in your mouth or a stomach ulcer.
