rattlesnake antivenom
Rattlesnake antivenom is a specialized treatment made from antibodies designed to neutralize toxins in a rattlesnake bite. When someone is bitten, the venom can cause pain, swelling, blood problems, and tissue damage. The antivenom binds to the venom's harmful chemicals, preventing further harm and helping the body recover. It is most effective when given promptly after the bite. Because it’s made from horse or sheep antibodies, it can sometimes cause allergic reactions, so medical supervision is essential. Overall, antivenom significantly reduces the risk of serious complications and improves recovery prospects.
