Can a person die as a result of bite from a rattlesnake?
Rattlesnake is a venomous snake, but asking if it is deadly, I’d say all snakes’ bites are deadly when they bite. But there are only a few cases of death from a rattlesnake bite. The medical treatment of bites is greatly improved. A person bitten by a rattlesnake should make a full recovery without lasting effects provided that medical treatment is found immediately. Seek medical attention immediately.
Rattlesnake bites can be fatal, but rarely, very few people have died from rattlesnake bites. In most of rattlesnake bites, the snake does not even release venom, probably because they don’t see the human as prey. In venomous bites, a victim’s chance of surviving can drop if they have an allergic reaction to the venom, or if a fang reaches directly into a vein or artery, sending the poison flowing throughout their body.
