The Rattlesnake venom is highly Hemotoxic. The venom travels through the bloodstream, destroying tissue and causing swelling, internal bleeding and intense pain. Some subspecies also contain a neurotoxic component in their venom that may cause paralysis. Rattlesnake bites are rarely fatal to adult humans. If an anti-venom treatment is given within the first 1-2 hours, the probability of recovery is nearly 99%.

How does snake venom kill a person?
It depends on which species of snake you mean. Some snake venom attacks the prey's blood, preventing it from clotting (the victim bleeds to death internally) - other venom attacks the nervous system, shutting down the victim's breathing reflex (the victim suffocates) - another property is necrosis - where the venom destroys body tissue (vital body functions simply collapse). Snake venom can possess just one, or all three properties - depending on the species !
