## Caption

The Chicago area is seeing a spike in a pneumonia-like illness called "Legionnaires' disease" following a string of relentless rainfall and heat. In Illinois this year, even before the weeks of high heat and humidity, data shows 134 hospitalizations and 14 deaths (the majority in the Chicago area) with cases and deaths expected to surge this summer, once all the health data is compiled. #legionnaires #illness #disease #health #weather
