Perhaps not directly. Some have claimed to have gotten sick from dust inhalation, but this has not been studied. Injuries sustained during a tornado can lead to infection. Psychological trauma may lead to psychosomatic effects which can include a temporarily weakened immune system, leaving people more vulnerable to illness. If destruction is significant, people may become ill if they do not have access to the same medical or sanitary resources that they normally do. Power outages resulting from tornadoes may lead to food or medication that requires refrigeration to go bad.
