Yes, you’re right.
But if you put tear gas liquid into something like petroleum jelly, you can smear it around. People then get affected when they run their eyes or whatever.
You could have the same result with really hot peppers. Say mix in ghost peppers into a liquid (even water) and pour it around.
Just thinking about the time I made fajitas and didn’t wash my hands well enough after cutting peppers.
Got me two hours later.
Run = rub
Possibly sprayed on the hand rails used to get onto the raised platform and bleachers behind Trump.
Didn’t effect Trump as he used a different set of stairs or did not use the handrail.
Yep, very possibly the means that was used. Folks normally touch their faces, eyes many times a day. If they got the stuff on their hands, then on the way home, if they rubbed their eyes, it wou.d have quickly affected them then. Th3 stuff might been smeared on an exit gate, or railing or something- maybe even smeared on the doors of folks- perhaps so eone saw the Latinos arrive in a group, then smeared their door handles with stuff-
All just guessing, but whatever it was, it certainly had its intended consequences if it was deliberate, which at this point it seems to have been
Trump shook hands with them all. Shouldn’t he have had symptoms, too? Unless they touched something later. But if something was smeared on an exit door, other people besides that one group would have used the same exit door.
