Rattlesnake envenomation is a research area focused on understanding the effects of venom from rattlesnakes, as well as developing treatments and preventive measures for snakebite victims. This research typically involves studying the composition and properties of rattlesnake venom, as well as the mechanisms by which it affects the human body. Researchers may also investigate ways to improve antivenom treatments and develop new therapeutics to counteract the effects of snake venom. Additionally, studies in this area may explore factors that influence the severity of rattlesnake envenomation, such as the species of snake involved, the amount of venom injected, and the location of the snakebite.
