Mystery as Trump supporters suffer from burning eyes, temporary blindness after sitting behind former president at Arizona rally | 19 Sept 2024 | Supporters of Donald Trump say they've suffered from mysterious eye injuries after sitting behind him at his rally in Tucson on Thursday. At least half a dozen people said they were seated on stage behind Trump as the candidate addressed the spiraling cost of living crisis and unveiled a populist new policy, promising to end tax on overtime. But after the event, they became afflicted with a mysterious malady. Some complained of dealing with irritation in their eyes and needed medical attention. Mayra Rodriguez said that her "eyes were burning" once she left the rally and headed for the emergency room shortly after getting home from the speech. "The emergency room staff, from the triage nurse to the PA, asked, Are you sure you didn't get sprayed with something? Your symptoms look like you got sprayed with something," Rodriguez said. She said that whatever happened, for a couple of days afterward, she had nearly gone blind.
