The Cootie is one of the most dangerous infestations found in the schoolyard. They are invisible creatures, so no one is sure if they are insects or germs. Cooties are found on a person that you don't like (usually of the opposite sex, but not always), and this is a valid reason to avoid contact with them and exclude them from social activities. Cooties are highly contagious and can be spread by a single touch or merely by engaging in conversation. The only known cure for Cooties is to recite a rhyme (Circle, circle, dot, dot. Now you have a Cootie shot.)while drawing the mentioned patterns on the afflicted person's arm. The cure is instantaneous, but does not guarantee protection from future infection. If you encounter a person with Cooties, do not...under any circumstances...allow them to play kickball with you!
