Guillain-Barré syndrome is an autoimmune disease that occurs when the immune system of the body attacks part of the nervous system itself by mistake. This leads to inflammation of the nerves, which causes muscle weakness. It usually occurs after infections in the body, such as the Zika virus. Before Brazil, French Polynesia presented one of the largest outbreaks of Zika virus ever recorded in October 2013 and April 2014. During that period there was also an increase in cases of Guillain-Barré Syndrome in that country. To verify if there is even a relationship between the two tables, scientists have done a case control study, in which they analyzed 42 cases of the syndrome in French Polynesia. They found that among these people, 41 (ie, 98% of cases) had IgM or IgG antibodies against the Zika virus in the body, suggesting that they were contaminated by the disease.

This was the first study to show the relationship between the Zika virus and Guillian-Barré Syndrome.

In addition, 37 of them (88%) had traditional Zika symptoms for six days.

Dangers of agave and alcoholic beverages Up to now, research has been done exclusively on rats. According to the nutritionist Fernanda Machado Soares, patients with diabetes should not consume the agave, due to the high fructose content, which means that, in this way, more studies are necessary to verify the efficiency of the research in human beings.
