Can you die from a western rattlesnake bite?

Answer 1

Yes, it is venomous.
That depends - on a number of factors. Where the person is bitten, how much venom is injected (and what type), how long until the victim gets help, the general health of the victim - allplay a part in whether the person survives or not.

Answer 2

Rattlesnake venom is not a poison, it is a venom. Therefore it must be injected into the bloodstream directly. If you consume it, as long as there are no ulcers or open wounds from your mouth throughout your body, your stomach acids will break the venom down as if it were a regular food. You will not die unless you do have the openings for it to enter the blood stream.
