Rubio 1998, p.59 – Knowledge that rattlesnakes are so afraid of kingsnakes' odor led to the development of effective synthetic rattlesnake repellents. In the United States, more than 15,000 domesticated animals are bitten by snakes each year. Rattlesnake envenomations account for 80% of the deadly incidents. [98] The skin of rattlesnakes is intricately patterned in a manner that camouflages them from their predators. [62] [63] Rattlesnakes do not generally have bright or showy colors (reds, yellows, blues, etc.), instead relying on subtle earth tones that resemble the surrounding environment.

The rattlesnake became a symbolic animal for the Colonials during the Revolutionary War period, and is depicted prominently on the Gadsden Flag. It continues to be used as a symbol by the United States military, and political movements within the United States.

Meriwether Lewis of the Lewis and Clark Expedition described in 1805 how a hired interpreter, who lived for 15 years with the Mandan, used the rattlesnake‘s rattle to speed up the delivery of Sacagewea‘s son Jean Baptiste Charbonneau: Rattlesnake venom is a mixture of five to fifteen enzymes, various metal ions, biogenic amines, lipids, free amino acids, proteins, and polypeptides. It contains components evolved to immobilize and disable the prey, as well as digestive enzymes, which break down tissue to prepare for later ingestion. [36] [40] The venom is very stable, and retains its toxicity for many years in storage. [36] Common symptoms include swelling, severe pain, tingling, weakness, anxiety, nausea and vomiting, hemorrhaging, perspiration, and (rarely) heart failure. [90] [92] Local pain following envenomation is often intense, increasing with the ensuing edema. [90] Children generally experience more severe symptoms because they receive a larger amount of venom per unit of body mass. [91] Antivenom [ edit ]Members of some Christian sects in the Southern United States are regularly bitten while participating in " snake handling" rituals. Snake handling is when people hold venomous snakes, unprotected, as part of a religious service inspired by a literal interpretation of the Bible verses Mark 16:17–18, which reads, "In my name ... They shall take up serpents ...." [36] [102] In traditional medicine [ edit ]

An estimated 7,000 to 8,000 people are bitten by venomous snakes in the United States each year, with about five deaths. [88] The most important factor in survival following a severe envenomation is the time elapsed between the bite and treatment. Most deaths occur between 6 and 48 hours after the bite. If antivenom treatment is given within two hours of the bite, the probability of recovery is greater than 99%. [89] Burton, Maurice; Burton, Robert, eds. (1970). "Rattlesnake".
