Please See a DR.: African tick-bite fever is a bacterial infection that is spread through the bite of infected ticks. Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle soreness, and a rash. The only way to treat bacterial infections is with antibiotics. (Doxycycline, Ciproflaxacin). These are safe and tested methods. Failure to treat can result in encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), pneumonia, damage to brain/heart
