1800's cures for a snake bite?

In the 1800s, common remedies for snake bites included the application of tourniquets to restrict blood flow, incisions to extract venom, and the use of herbal treatments such as poultices made from plant extracts. Some practitioners recommended sucking out the venom or using hot cautery to burn the bite area. While these methods were based on the medical understanding of the time, they often lacked efficacy and could worsen the patient's condition. Seeking professional medical help was crucial, though often unavailable in remote areas.
