How do you cure rattlesnake bites in 1800?

Found this diary account from way back when: Rattlesnake bites received instant and odd treatments. A pioneer woman of the Texas Plains wrote about a her sister being bitten. Immediately, the mother grabbed a baby chick, ripped it open and put the warm meat against the wound.As the meat cooled she used another chick handed her by the sister.

She said the poison from the wound turned the chick flesh green. When there were no more chicks, she made a tub of mud and kept the leg in that. When the father got home, they gave the little girl some whiskey.

She recovered from the bite in a few weeks and suffered no ill effects.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
