Most people are aware that where you are bitten plays a crucial role in your chances of surviving a Rattle Snake Bite. If you are bitten in the face, chest, and or near a vein, or Artery, the venom takes less time to reach the heart. In the past people would cut the area, suck out the venom, This certainly makes more sense then to try to (chill), or to chill the wound, after being bitten. Poor Guy, R.I.P.
