Some attendees of a Donald Trump rally in Tucson, AZ last week were left with unexplained eye injuries, with some reportedly going nearly blind temporarily. They had been seated right behind the GOP nominee on stage during the rally.

According to News 4 Tucson, six people who were seated behind the former president on stage during his rally are still feeling the effects such as eye irritation and required medical attention. At least one went to the emergency room.



Mayra Rodriguez, who used to be a Planned Parenthood Director but became a pro-life advocate and supporter of Donald Trump, told the outlet, “As soon as we left and we stepped outside my eyes were burning.” When she got home, she decided to go to the emergency room.

She said, “The emergency room staff, from the triage nurse to the PA [Physicians Assistant] asked are you sure you didn’t get sprayed with something your symptoms look like you got sprayed with something.”

The morning after the event she was nearly blind, but doctors were unable to determine what caused her injuries. “I can’t see anything when I try to open my eyes. I see a bright light. It hurts, it hurts a lot to open my eyes. I have this cold cloth I put on and take off constantly. It's horrible.”

Thankfully, the near blindness was only temporary, and her vision started to improve as of Tuesday.

A brother and sister who were seated near Mayra but didn’t want to be identified had similar issues. The sister told News 4, “It kept getting worse and worse, my eyes were watering a lot, my nose started running then I started feeling my face get really flushed and my neck felt like it was on fire, and it just progressed from there.”

Her brother added, “It was all focused on my eyes, my eyes were red like hell you know, it's unbearable. I couldn’t handle it.” Other Trump rally attendees who would not do on-camera interviews told the outlet they had similar injuries.

The Trump campaign said in a statement: “The Trump campaign has been collecting information. We remain committed to the countless patriots that attend our high-energy, high-impact rallies across the country.”
