Ok that is different and about tolerance caused by the body going into autopilot because you give it an artificial crutch. As for snakes whatever doesn't kill you can also kill you next time.
I was talking about antibiotics or vaccines which work to fight bacteria or viruses. If you have a local infection the rest of the body can live without antibiotics for a long time but you will feel really rough for most of that time and your infection may spread to other areas. Without medicines, antiseptics etc you can die from a cut. Without a vaccine a proportion of people would die from tetanus or smallpox or polio etc.
Or I'm sure you can put an onion in your sock and draw the poison out etc.
