Trump rally goers suffer mysterious eye injuries: 'I can't see anything'
Six rally goers suffered mysterious eye injuries while seated behind Donald Trump at a campaign event in Arizona.
KVOA-TV reported that all six attendees experienced eye irritation and sought medical attention after the rally last week in Tucson.
“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," said pro-life activist Mayra Rodriguez. "I have this cold cloth I put on and take off constantly. It's horrible."

Rodriguez sought treatment at an emergency room, where health care providers told her it appeared she had been sprayed with an unknown substance.
“The emergency room staff, from the triage nurse to the [physicians assistant] asked, 'Are you sure you didn’t get sprayed with something? Your symptoms look like you got sprayed with something,'" she said.
Five other attendees in her section reported similar symptoms, although rally goers on the opposite side of Trump appeared to be unaffected.
“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 another attendee who was seated near Rodriguez who asked to remain anonymous.
Another woman who did not want to appear on camera told the TV station that she had to cancel her real estate showings last weekend because she wasn't able to see well.
Rodriguez reported her experience to the Trump campaign, which issued a statement indicating they were investigating the incident, although the U.S. Secret Service was unaware of the situation when the TV station asked for comment.
“The Trump campaign has been collecting information," the campaign said in a statement. "We remain committed to the countless patriots that attend our high-energy, high-impact rallies across the country.”
