Cooties is a highly infectious disease, common between the ages of 5 and 12, which happens through the contact of saliva, generally by the mouth. Symptoms include a rash near or on the face, and sometimes even severe cases of toes dropping off.

Cooties is a word invented by soldiers in WW II to refer to Crabs and infectious germs that cause veneral diseases that many soldiers contracted overseas. Kids in the 1950s picked up the word from their soldier fathers and applied it to anything distasteful. When a kid was touched by the bad cootie generator (another kid) the cooties would be transferred immediately and the person doing the touching would be instantly cured.
Cooties models were produced in the 50s having bodies that looked like ants with strategically placed holes to snap on legs, antennae, eyes etc. The models had a short run and disappeared soon after their introduction.
