Initially introduced as a bug - probably head lice, cooties are some form of horrid affliction that you can get by coming into contact with anyone of the opposite sex, or sometimes same sex, if they're gross. (i.e.: all gross people by definition have cooties.) So once established as an imaginary infestation on the playground, cooties have become to be associated almost exclusively with with girls (possibly because they traditionally have more hair for head lice to infest) although anyone of questionable hygene is subject to cootie ridicule. Either way, for boys the rule is "Stay away from girls, because girl have cooties". Infestation could be prevented by common measures like crossing your fingers (although in the US it wasn't called bargies) or simply by avoiding contact with infected persons(i.e. running away as fast as you can). Also you could receive a cootie immunization by the well known incantation and actions: "Circle, Circle, dot, dot, Now I have my cootie shot" (whilst drawing 2 circles on your forearm, and then poking it twice in the middle for the dot, dot part), I'm sure there is a lot more cootie lore out there. (ed: would love to hear it if you have some?)
