Best Answer

Cooties are a make believe disease that young girls think all young boys have and all young boys think young girls have it. It was created to try and keep girls and boys from getting too close in a relationship at such a young age. If infected with "cooties" by touching a kid of the opposite gender, you need a friend to give you a cootie shot which involved them running their finger in a circular motion where a sdhot would be given followed by 2 jabs saying "circle, circle, dot, dot, now you have your cootie shot!"

You can get lice from people, hair clippings or furniture. If you put a few drops of tea tree oil on your soap before washing in a few days the lice will go.
