Written by retired county public health officer Hubbard Sellers (referred to as Del in the narrative), Cooties: An Epidemiology of the Only Plague Whose Cure Was Invented by Children analyzes the social phenomenon of playground untouchability using the analytical tools of outbreak investigation. Blending satire, personal memoir, and medical history, the book opens at Cordelia Fentress Elementary School in September 1979, where eight-year-old Del becomes the index case of an outbreak after an administrative classmate utters a single word, instantly establishing an eleven-inch boundary of isolation. Sellers deconstructs the unique properties of cooties-a zero-day retroactive incubation period, pointing as its primary vector, and a 100% attack rate among believers.
