Venom and Its Purpose
Rattlesnake venom is a complex cocktail of proteins and enzymes, designed to immobilize prey and aid in digestion. It’s primarily hemotoxic, meaning it attacks blood and tissue, but some species have neurotoxic components as well, which affect the nervous system. When a rattlesnake bites, it injects venom through its hollow, retractable fangs. While dangerous, rattlesnake bites are rarely fatal to humans with prompt medical treatment. Antivenom is effective, but the key is early intervention. For the snake, venom is a survival tool, not a weapon—it’s used mainly for hunting and self-defense.
