Legionnaires' disease has been in the news recently with cases in New York City and Syracuse. But many people don't really know what this illness is. This week on WRVO's health and wellness show "Take Care," Hosts Lorraine Rapp and Linda Lowen speak with Janet Stout, one of the top authorities on Legionnaires' and an engineering professor at the University of Pittsburgh.

More of this interview can be heard on "Take Care," WRVO's health and wellness show Sunday at 6:30 p.m.  Support for this story comes from the Health Foundation for Western and Central New York.
