A dog's lick rarely spreads internal parasites directly, but external parasites such as fleas and ticks can pass through close contact, and gut parasites reach people via the fecal-oral route. Open wounds, poor hygiene, and raw-food feeding raise the risk, so deworm regularly and wash up after handling your dog.
