I personally knew a man that was bitten in the tip of a finger by a rattlesnake while fixing fence. He simply chopped off the tip of the finger, then killed the rattler, and went back to fixing fence with a dirty handkerchief wrapped around the finger.
Lots of little stories like that from my childhood.
