Since moving to the countryside, I've taken up a side job as an assassin. While camping out with a doctor, they told me that I had contracted an illness. However, since I didn't take any money with me, they handed me this puzzle instead:

I'm all charged up for this puzzle to be solved

They told me, "Solve the nonogram, and you'll know where you're ill!"

Can you identify where I'm ill?

This puzzle can be solved without guessing. Note that cells filled with different colours do not necessarily need to have a gap between them. Clued colors are indicated by the background color of the text.

From Somebody's completed nonogram grid, we can see

an $ X_2^{-}, $ which could represent an ion, underneath what appears to be a tent.

Therefore,

the rebus can be interpreted as "in tent, ion," or intention. And this answers the question because an assassin would definitely have ill intentions.

Here is what I have as a completed nonogram. I don't think I've missed anything. I'm not yet sure where to go from here but it's a start!
