Can saliva cause epilepsy?
i'm not sure what the question here means (it's awkwardly phrased) but assuming that you mean "Can the saliva of someone who has epilepsy give other people epilepsy", the answer is NO. We're not dealing with anything contagious here. It's not like AIDs or the common cold; you cannot catch it. Think about someone with diabetes spitting on you. Would that cause diabetes? Nope. You can't catch epilepsy, nor can you be "infected" with epilepsy. Epilepsy is often times a genetic thing, and if you have had a seizure or think you may have epilepsy, consult a doctor. Also you shouldn't let people spit on you.

The word intractable means hard to control. It can be used in relation to many things. Lots of things can be intractable.

It is not a form of epilepsy, just a general description as to how serious a person's epilepsy has become. As it is a general term there is no specific point of measurement to say when someone has intractable epilepsy. The majority of people with epilepsy lead very normal lives. They only have seizures occasionally and most of the time they are fine and people that know them might not even know they have epilepsy. Only a very small amount of people have it to the extent that it could be said to be intractable.
