How to Treat a Rattlesnake Bite

What to do if you are bitten by a rattlesnake: If you are bitten by a rattlesnake, remain calm and call for help. Remove any rings or tight clothing around the bitten area. Remain still and don't attempt to walk to the hospital. This could cause more damage. Transport yourself to the nearest hospital as quickly as possible. If an ambulance is not available, have someone drive you to the hospital. Try to keep the bite lower than your heart.
