It first depends on what you are asking. If you are asking how does one treat the snakebite, I would recomend going to a doctor. If it is a dry bite, it still needs to be treated like any other severe animal bite. If however it is not a dry bite and venom is injected, one needs to seek immediate medical attention, because a diamondback bite is often lethal if left untreated.

If however the question is asking what happens to the body here is a list:

Western Diamondback Rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox)

  1. Proteolysis
  2. Hemorrhaging
  3. Skeletal Damage
  4. Tissue Destruction
  5. Permenant Tissue Loss
  6. Gangrene
  7. Pain
  8. Swelling
  9. Bleeding
  10. Necrosis
  11. Various other minor symptoms

Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake (C. adamanteus)

  1. Proteolysis
  2. Thrombosis
  3. Hemolysis
  4. Hemorrhaging
  5. Paralysis
  6. Necrosis
  7. Severe Acute Pain
  8. Hypotension
  9. Internal Pain
  10. As well as other minor symptoms

Red Diamond Rattlesnake (C. ruber)

  1. Proteolysis
  2. Hemorrhaging
  3. Necrosis
  4. Assorted minor symptoms

Pacific Rattlesnake (C. oreganus)

  1. Proteolysis
  2. Hemorrhaging
  3. Muscular Weakness
  4. Skeletal Damage

All Venom from Rattlesnakes are deadly if left untreated. I would recomend seeking immediate medical attention if bitten by any of the aforementioned species.
