The term may have originated with references to lice, fleas and other pests. A child is said to "catch" cooties through any form of bodily contact, proximity, or touching of an "infected" person. The phrase is used by children aged 5-10.

So, if I understand this correctly the cooties are widely spread in North America, but nowhere else?
