Cheese Touch

The Cheese Touch is a type of cooties in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. If somebody has the Cheese Touch, they will be an outcast until they pass it onto someone else.

The Cheese Touch is first mentioned at the start of the first book, where it is revealed that the cheese touch originated from a piece of rotten cheese lying on the basketball court. The first person to have the cheese touch was Darren Walsh, who touched the cheese and started the game. Greg says he doesn't want the cheese touch started up again because he 'doesn't want that kind of stress in his life anymore'.

The only way for people to protect themselves from the Cheese Touch is to cross their fingers. Greg ended taping his fingers together so he doesn't get it, and he got a D in handwriting. But he said it was totally worth it.

At the end of the story Rowley Jefferson was forced into eating the rotting cheese, therefore ending the Cheese touch. Greg Heffley was known to have the cheese touch, because he lied that he got rid of it.
