Attendees at the September 12 rally in Tucson, Arizona, did not notice any issues during the event. The affected individuals were positioned directly behind Trump on stage when the incident occurred. <\/p>\n<p>Mayra Rodriguez, a former Planned Parenthood director who later became a Trump supporter, was among those sitting right behind him. She began to feel something was seriously amiss shortly after leaving the rally. &#8220;As soon as we left and stepped outside, my eyes were burning,&#8221; Rodriguez recounted to KVOA. Initially attributing her discomfort to allergies, she soon realized she required medical attention upon returning home and went to the emergency room.<\/p>\n<p>The staff there expressed concern about her symptoms: &#8220;The emergency room staff asked me if I was sure I hadn\u2019t been sprayed with something because my symptoms looked like that,&#8221; Rodriguez told KVOA. By the next day, her vision had deteriorated significantly: &#8220;I can\u2019t see anything when I try to open my eyes; it hurts a lot.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Rodriguez wasn&#8217;t alone in experiencing these troubling symptoms; others nearby reported similar issues as well. One woman described how her condition worsened progressively after the rally: &#8220;My eyes watered excessively; my nose started running&#8230; it just escalated from there.&#8221; Her brother also suffered from severe eye irritation and pain.<\/p>\n<p>Video footage from the Tucson rally captured Rodriguez alongside Trump and others on stage. Nearly a week after attending the event, Rodriguez&#8217;s vision is beginning to improve slowly.
