In April 2016, WHO stated there is a scientific consensus, based on preliminary evidence, that Zika is a cause of microcephaly in infants and Guillain–Barré syndrome in adults. Studies of this and prior outbreaks have found Zika infection during pregnancy to be associated with early pregnancy loss and other pregnancy problems. In the Americas the number of cases peaked during the first half of 2016 and declined through 2017–2018, with a total of 31,587 suspected, probable, and confirmed cases of ZIKV disease were reported in the Region of the Americas. Of these, 3,473 (11%) were laboratory confirmed. In general, transmission persists at low levels in some areas and is not uniformly distributed within countries. Asia
In 2016 imported or locally transmitted Zika was reported in all the countries of Asia except Brunei, Hong Kong, Myanmar and Nepal. Serological surveys have indicated that Zika virus is endemic in most areas of Asia, though at a low level. While there was a sharp rise in the number of cases of Zika detected in Singapore after the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil, genetic analysis revealed that the strains were more closely related to strains from Thailand than from those causing the epidemic in the Americas. History
Origin of the name
It is named after the Zika Forest near Entebbe, Uganda, where the Zika virus was first identified. Microcephaly and other infant disorders
Zika virus was first identified in the late 1940s in Kampala, Uganda, Africa but was first confirmed in Brazil.
Research has yet to find any evidence of this treatment being effective. Likely the raw meat was used when ice packs were not yet commercially available and meat was stored in iceboxes instead of in a protective gas. While cold but not freezing, meat is more gentle to the skin than ice and will not damage the surface of the skin as the skin temperature cannot go below freezing even in extreme cases. Meat is also soft and comes easier into contact with the skin than blocks of ice that were available. Associated conditions
Eye injury and head trauma may also coincide with a black eye. Some common signs of a more serious injury may include:

Double vision
Loss of sight and/or fuzzy vision could occur
Loss of consciousness
Inability to move the eye or large swelling around the eye
Blood or clear fluid from the nose or the ears
Blood on the surface of the eye itself or cuts on the eye itself
Persistent headache or migraine
