Best Answer

Cooties are an imaginary parasite (or infection) that can be spread onto surfaces or by touching. The term originated in the 1800s when boys were more prone to head lice and other bed sucking bugs. It is now used primarily by children aged 4-10 when referring usually to a member of the opposite sex but sometimes other children who are different in some way. eg: Don't let Sally touch you, she has cooties." Mothers and sometimes fathers have been known to tell their children about cooties in an effert to deter inapropriate contact between little boys and girls.
