How did they treat a scorpion sting on the oregon trail?

Answer 1

gunpowder and salt As it turns out, rattlesnakes are able to control the amount of venom that they deliver and they benefit by not wasting the venom on an animal much too large to eat. Most people bitten by rattlesnakes stand a fairly good chance of receiving a sub-leathal dose of venom so almost anything you do for treatment that itself doesn't kill the victim will stand about as good a chance of resulting in the victim's survival. Whiskey is often offered as a cure in the movies...that is probably about as bad a treatment as any but, even so, there were survivors.
they had to cut exactly on the fang marks and suck as many blood venom as they could.
Is this question supposed to be asking how the pioneers following the Oregon Trail in the 1800's dealt with rattlesnake bites? If so, then someone else will need to provide an answer. If not, then the place name is not relevant to the question. The answer below is for current treatment.

Rattlesnake bites are "cured" the same no matter where the person is-by medical personnel using antivenin to counter the venom. The only catch with antivenin is that the snake's type has to be identified so they know which antivenin to use (if there is any). Your only other option is to use first aid measures, tough it out, and hope that you aren't severely maimed or disfigured by the damage that rattlesnake poison does to the human body. Since first aid measures won't cure the poison, they won't be listed here.

But it was possible to treat. **** is where you will go.
drink lots of water and try to take it out. drink lots of water and try to take it out.

Answer 2

If someone got bitten by a venomous snake, another pioneer would take a knife and cut an "x" at the bite location. They would then suck out the blood and hopefully the poison. Sometimes this worked and sometimes this didn't.If it didn't work the victim would most likely die. If they happen to be
lucky enough to survive, the body part that was bitten would normally have to be amputated. If they were bitten on their core, death was almost certain.
