Bizarre Health Scare at Trump Rally: Attendees Suffer Chemical Burns!

Arizona Globe journalist Christy Kelly has reported a concerning incident following former President Donald Trump’s rally in Tucson, Arizona, last Thursday.

Kelly noted that "up to 20 people" were affected by these symptoms, all of whom were seated on the left side of the stage.

"Many supporters seated behind Trump onstage went to the ER after the rally with 'blurred vision' and 'burning' eyes. I spoke to several who still have not fully recovered. As many as 20 were affected," Kelly wrote on X.

The cause of these symptoms remains unknown, and an active investigation is underway. Members of the "Latinos for Trump" group were among the most severely impacted, including Pastor Eli Moreno and his wife, Francesca. Pastor Moreno described experiencing mild discomfort, but his wife’s symptoms were far more severe. "Her vision blurred, her face swelled up, and we had to rush to the nearest Walgreens for help," Pastor Moreno told Kelly.

Mrs. Moreno’s symptoms persisted for several days, and despite receiving treatment in the ER, she has been referred to an ophthalmologist for further care. Another attendee, Mayra Rodriguez, a Planned Parenthood "whistleblower," shared a similar experience, saying that just 30 minutes after leaving the rally, she was unable to open her eyes due to extreme burning.

"When I got to the hospital, they told me I had a chemical burn," Rodriguez said. "Days later, I’m still dealing with blurry vision and sensitivity to light."

In an interview with News 4 Tucson, Rodriguez described her visit to the emergency room, where medical staff questioned if she had been sprayed with something based on her unusual symptoms. "The emergency room staff, from the triage nurse to the PA [Physician Assistant], asked, 'Are you sure you didn’t get sprayed with something? Your symptoms look like you got sprayed with something,'" she said.

"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.

News 4 also spoke with a brother and sister, who wished to remain anonymous, after they experienced similar symptoms while seated near Rodriguez.

"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. It just progressed from there," the sister said.

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."

Danielle Alvarez, a Senior Advisor to Trump’s campaign, acknowledged the situation and assured that the campaign is investigating.

"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."
