Tucson Trump Rally Attendees Report Suffering Mysterious Eye Burning Symptoms
The Trump campaign is investigating reports that up to 20 attendees of his rally in Tucson last week experienced severe eye irritation issues, prompting speculation the incident was some kind of chemical attack.
News 4 Tucson reports that it interviewed six people who were seated directly behind Trump during the event who sought medical attention after saying their eyes felt like they were burning.
“As soon as we left and we stepped outside my eyes were burning,” Mayra Rodriguez told the news network.
“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,” she added.

Rodriguez said that doctors could not identify the cause of her discomfort.
“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,” she added.
N4T Investigators also spoke with a brother and sister who attended the event and experienced similar symptoms.
“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,” said the sister.
Meanwhile, her brother said, “It was all focused on my eyes, my eyes were red like hell you know, it’s unbearable. I couldn’t handle it.”
The Secret Service responded by saying it was completely unaware of the situation (big surprise there), while the Trump campaign said it would be investigating the matter.
“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,” said a statement.
Speculation on X centered around the theory that the people involved were victims of some kind of chemical attack, while some even went so far as to label the incident a third assassination attempt on Trump.
The former president did not report suffering any ill effects following the rally.
