After going to a Trump gathering in Tucson, Arizona, some people said they felt strange symptoms that made them think there had been a chemical attack.
“Despite these health problems, their main goal is to back former President Trump.”
The Arizona Globe, an independent news source, wrote about the event.
The story says that about 20 people from the “Latinos for Trump” group who were on stage got sick soon after the rally finished. It was scary that the group showed up on the side of the stage where former President Donald Trump was walking into the gathering.
Member symptoms reported to the Arizona Globe included blurred vision, facial swelling, and significant eye pain that started about 30 minutes after the rally finished.
Some people treated themselves with milk before going to the hospital. Someone else said that his face went red and started to peel. When they got to the hospital, the staff told them that other people from the protest were also there getting help.
Doctors told one person that she had a chemical burn after doing a dye test. Even after days had passed, that person still had trouble seeing clearly and was sensitive to light.
Christy Kelly, the writer from the Arizona Globe who broke the news, gave more information:
“At the Tucson gathering, I talked to at least eight Latino Trump fans who were upset. They are devoted Americans who are very worried about President Trump’s health and their own healing. They want an in-depth review of what happened at the event. The injuries they got were different, but everyone I talked to went to the hospital afterward. I’ve looked at two medical records that confirm these injuries, and everyone who was there wants the place to say what happened. Even though they are having health problems, they are still focused on backing former President Trump.”
The Trump team reported they are looking into what happened.
“We are committed to the many patriotic people who come to our high-energy, high-impact events across the country,” said the campaign’s senior assistant, Danielle Alvarez.
The Arizona Globe asked the Tucson Police Department and the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall for comments, but neither of them replied.
