Transmission of parasites

Can you get parasites in your brain, from someone who may not necessarily be suffering from parasites, just not know it, or may have them in their gut?

apparently there needs to be a mediator for parasites... first the pig gets infected by human feces, and then the human eats the pig, then gets the parasites.

Can you get parasites without the pig mediator? straight from human feces?
