A troubling incident unfolded at a recent Trump rally in Tucson, Arizona, where at least six attendees experienced severe eye discomfort, prompting emergency room visits. Those seated directly behind the former President reported “burning” red eyes, with symptoms escalating to light sensitivity and intense pain in the days following the event.
Medical experts have speculated on the cause, suggesting either a malfunctioning air conditioning system or faulty stage lighting emitting harmful UV rays. One optometrist indicated that strong AC airflow could irritate attendees’ eyes by either drying them out or blowing fine dust particles into their eyes. Another doctor highlighted the possibility of UV keratitis resulting from intense lighting used during the rally, a condition that could inflict severe pain and blurred vision.
While some online theories pointed to chemical exposure, medical professionals dismissed this, noting that such reactions would typically manifest immediately. The U.S. Secret Service confirmed no known threats were present at the event.
The Trump campaign has acknowledged the situation, stating they are gathering information. This incident follows another recent scare involving explosives found in a vehicle near a Trump rally. Eyewitness accounts from affected attendees describe debilitating pain and vision issues, with some reporting lingering effects days later. Dr. Robert Cykiert called for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the reported illnesses.
