hello-
i live in illinois too, and where i am, there are absolutely TONS of cicadas! im deathly afraid of them too, but i just try and ignore them and if you don't pay attention to them then you should be fine and not be so paranoid about them. also i know this is very weird-but i have heard several times that the louder/higher pitched you scream when they come near you, the more they are attracted to you, so if they come near you, then just don't scream mmkay?! i know this wasnt that helpful but i thought id tell you something! =]

as taken from wikipedia:
Cicadas do not bite or sting, are benign to humans, and are not considered a pest.
just in case your fear had anything to do with being harmed by these bugs i thought i'd clear that up. i dont blame you for being freaked out by these bugs, they're new and alien to you. soon you'll be able to swat those things away as you would a regular greenhead :] they just take some time getting used to, which is understandable. when you go outside and see one, just tell yourself how harmless they are, and try your best not to freak out. i understand how difficult this is for you, but getting over these things is important. tell yourself how its 1/1000 your size, and easily killed. if you're with friends, ask them to swat the bugs away for you. also, wear deep woods bug repellant, too. that should keep them far away from you. i hope you can solve your dilemma and i hope i helped at least a tad
