This would depend on a variety of things, the type of snake, if they got antivenom in time, how bad the bite was, the condition of the person bitten. For instance a bite off a Black Mamba is almost 100% death without the antivenom, the European adder on the other hand while bites can be painful they're seldom fatal.

To put things into perspective... There are approximately 1,800 species of snakes on the planet. Of these, roughly a quarter of those species carry venom - the rest kill by constriction, or simply 'grab and swallow' their prey. Now - although that means a figure of about 450 venomous species, less than ten percent carry venom that's potent enough to cause serious harm to humans.

sometimes. it depends on what kind of snake it is. if it is a poisonous snake then you need immediate medical attention. you may not die from a poisonous snake bite if you react fast. if it is not poisonous then you have from little to no chance of dying. don't worry about any of this if you live in an area that has no poisonous snakes. unless you live next to, in, or near a zoo that keeps poisonous snakes on hand. then you might be in trouble! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, Depends where too!
