The speakers of some languages tend to confuse 'treat' with 'deal'.

Don't deal with him is probably what you are aiming at, but even that isn't quite right. You could say Don't associate with him, but that's probably too formal for the situation. What you say depends on the exact situation, but it might be something like

He's a bully. Keep your distance from him
