Trump supporters suffer 'unbearable' mystery injuries after sitting behind ex-president at rally

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Supporters of Donald Trump say they've suffered from mysterious eye injuries after sitting behind him at his rally in Tucson last week.

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, a former Clinton supporter turned Trump fan and pro-life advocate, 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.

'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 said.

Rodriguez said that by Tuesday, her vision had begun to return to her and it doesn't appear to be a permanent problem.

However, she became more troubled when she started to hear stories from other people who attended and sat near her.

'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,' another attendee, who remained anonymous, told KVOA.

The woman's brother had the same issues: 'It was all focused on my eyes, my eyes were red like hell you know, it's unbearable. I couldn't handle it'.

At least one other Trump supporter, a local realtor, had to cancel all of her scheduled business for the weekend due to blindness.

A Trump campaign spokesperson said that the operation is looking into these cases.
