<human>: I've been hearing a lot about the Zika virus, what should I know?
<bot>: The Zika virus is an infectious disease that is spread through mosquito bites. It can cause mild symptoms such as fever, rash, joint pain and red eyes. However, it has also been linked to more severe health conditions like Guillain-Barre Syndrome, which can lead to paralysis or even death. The best way to protect yourself from this virus is to wear long sleeves and pants when outdoors, use insect repellent, and stay away from areas with high mosquito populations.
