Supporters complain about 'eyes burning'

Pro-life advocate and Trump fan,Mayra Rodriguez saidthat her "eyes were burning" as soon as she left the rally so she went directly to the emergency room.

"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," said Rodriguez, according toDaily Mail Online.

"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 added.

Rodriguez stated her vision started getting restored by Tuesday (September 17) and the problem did not persist.

However, she was not the only one who suffered such an illness after attending the rally.

"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, while speaking to KVOA.

Rodriguez's brother also complained about a similar issue. "It was all focused on my eyes, my eyes were red like hell you know, it's unbearable. I couldn't handle it," he added.
