Can I Get Parasitic Infection From Skin Contact?

I'm pregnant was i had to help a person who was having uncontrollable seizures. He has no recorded background for seizures. He as admitted to the emerency room where they had to take him to a bigger, better hospital because they could not control the seizures either. The doctors stated that it could be a parasite in the brain. I was just wondering if it was a brain parasite, could it be passed along to me, even if i did not touch nothing he touched or touched him.
