Outdoor living: It has some risks. In addition to black flies, were you exposed to mosquitoes, ticks, unclean water, bats, poison oak or ivy? Get examined because of the fever and headache. You have done everything reasonable, without success. Good luck.

Black Flies: The bite of the black fly can cause itching & marked local swelling which may continue for weeks. With heavy biting Black Fly Fever can occur with symptoms to include fever, headache, nausea & swollen lymph nodes. Secondary infection may occur. In Africa, Central & South America – it can transmit a nematode that causes River Blindness. See your doctor.
