Black snakes are not lethal. They do bite when provoked, and the bite probably would make you sick, because like other reptiles, snakes do carry Salmonella. So, the bite of a black snake won't kill you, but the bacteria naturally carried by the snake could make you very ill.
Most rattlesnake bites contain hemotoxic elements which damage tissue and affect the circulatory system by destroying blood cells, skin tissues and causing internal hemorrhaging.
Symptoms of a Rattlesnake Bite
- One or two puncture marks
- Pain, tingling or burning at the area of the bite
- Swelling at the area of the bite
- Bruising and discoloration at the site of the bite
- Numbness

With prompt medical treatment fatalities from rattlesnake bites are rare.
Remain calm and retreat from the snake at least 15 feet. Arrange to have the victim transported to a medical facility as soon as possible.
Remove restrictive clothing items (rings, bracelets, watches, buttoned shirts, etc.) from the victim.
Splint or otherwise immobilize any bitten limbs and keep them below heart level. If (and only if) the victim is more than an hour away from a medical facility, place a lightly constricting band (that admits one finger beneath it) above the bitten area to prevent the systemic spread of the venom.
Keep victims calm; put them at rest; keep them warm and give them comfort and reassurance (which will lower their heart rate, slowing the spread of the venom). Keeping a victim's heart rate down, however, should never interfere with getting him or her to a medical facility.
If the snake is still present or nearby, try to get an accurate description by using a camera or remembering certain physical traits such as color, pattern, or length. This can help ensure the proper antivenom is administered. However, one should never put oneself at risk of being bitten to obtain this description.

You should wash your hands as soon as possible and apply a disinfectant. Rat snakes are not venomous, but a bite can still become infected. The bite itself does hurt somewhat.
Yes. Some venomous snakes can even kill a person. Some of the larger boas and pythons have enough strength to strangle a person. A bit from a nonvenemous snake can also become infected.
