How do you cure a rattlesnake bite on the Oregon trail?
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.
