A girl in our class apparently had 'mange'
And if you touched her you would instantly catch it. This could only be cured by touching someone else or 'throwing it' during class.

So often there'd be chains of 'mange' going round, passing it from one seated child to another.

We had a kid with mange in our class
The only way to make sure that no one could give you mange if you had passed it to them was to stand in a corner chanting
"5, 10, 5, 10, never get mange again"

We did this, except we called it 'AIDS'
AIDS was on TV a lot in the 80s. Kids are sick bastards.
