C. IFN. Guillian barre sec to to cammylobacter diarrhea, isn’t the t/t IVIg and plasmapheresis?

Answer is Antitoxin fr. C. botulism.
dx is not GBS b/c eyes are involved, and vignette does not suggest ascending paralysis, plus tx for GBS is IVIG, not IFN!

Yeah. Treatment of GBS is IVIG and/or plasmapharesis. It's differentiated from CIDP by it's lack of response or exacerbation with the use of corticosteroids. Well that and the fact that it is more acute (AIDP) vs chronic (CIDP).
