The upside is this: rattlesnake bites are so common that it\u2019s easy to know exactly what to do. Here\u2019s the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/rattlesnake-bite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rattlesnake bite<\/a> survival guide you would need for such an attack.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4155\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4155\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4155\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/phoenix\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Rattlesnake_PhotoCredit_Karl-Ibri-on-Unsplash-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"rattlesnake bite\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1582\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4155\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: Karl Ibri via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">React Calmly<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">First and foremost, a victim of any venomous snakebite should be doing everything they can to keep their heart rate as low as possible. That means no running, no panicking, and no going after the snake for round two. In addition, a rattlesnake, like any viper, secretes venom that causes serious tissue damage if the wound is held with pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As for the venom suction you see in the movies? Whether it\u2019s spit and razor blades or a \u201cprofessional\u201d kit, it doesn\u2019t extract venom at all \u2014 not even with a so-called extraction kit. That being said, it\u2019s imperative that you don\u2019t mess with the wound. It\u2019s important to keep the extremity that\u2019s been bitten from experiencing tissue death, so no ice and no tourniquets should be used either. These have been scientifically proven to do nothing in saving tissue and in fact increase likeliness of loss of life or limb.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The next thing to do if you&#8217;re bitten by a rattlesnake is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ucihealth.org\/blog\/2017\/07\/snake-bites\">travel to the hospital<\/a><span class=\"s1\"> \u2014 or to have paramedics come get you. Walking on your hike back will help you way more than running or rushing, as high-paced antics will cause your heart to race. Again, a rattlesnake bute must be treated in the hospital: no amount of home treatment will do anything for you, as <em>only<\/em> antivenom has been proven to work.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-buzzstone-thumb-square wp-image-4068 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/phoenix\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/large-500x500.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Find the Best Camping Spots Near Phoenix<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Are you trying to find the best camping spots near Phoenix?

There is, of course, the initial pain, and rattlesnake venom does more to make a victim uncomfortable. However, you can keep track of where the inflammation and the painful swelling is on your body to help the hospital better treat you in your time of need. Keep a sharpie on you, and circle the site of the bite. Then, mark your appendage where the swelling and pain end with a line \u2014 for example, halfway up the foot, if it\u2019s swelling that much from your toe already. Wherever the bite is, keeping track of the spread of pain is crucial to ascertain what type of snake bit you \u2014 and, in the case of a rattler or any other type of viper, the speed of the pain\u2019s spreading also aids in determining what antivenom to use. With your cooperation and expedient return to the nearest hospital, you will be able to mitigate your chances of worsening the damage caused by the bite.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4154\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4154\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4154\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/phoenix\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/HikingWear_PhotoCredit_Clay-Banks-on-Unsplash.png\" alt=\"rattlesnake bite\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4154\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: Clay Banks via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Be Prepared<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">When expecting to hike someplace where rattlesnakes may live, come prepared. Dress appropriately to reduce bite risk (jeans-wearers with decent boots are least likely to be envenomated). In addition, take that sharpie, your phone, and an epi-pen along with fast-acting allergy meds for good measure, in case of anaphylactic shock. Do that, and you\u2019re automatically increasing your chances of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/rattlesnake-bite#recovery-and-aftercare\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">surviving<\/a> a rattlesnake bite. It\u2019s obviously important to remain calm and to act fast, but remember: rattlesnake bites are very rarely lethal. Most of the time, all you get to remember your trip is a painful memory and a strong inclination to wear bite-preventive clothing.
