I have heard campfire stories of cattle prods and tazers being utilized.
One story had happened in Brownwood and they had to drive to San Antonio to get proper care. All the way, the victim was getting lit up by a friend. By the time they got to the ER, it was just a nasty bite.
I do t know, but I would be willing to try if I ever got bit by a rattler.
Brownwood to San Antonio? There are a lot of good hospitals a lot closer than San Antonio.
