Can horses catch anything that causes blisters by being touched by a person?
There are several infectious diseases horses can get that would result in blisters. In the United States, the most commonly seen disease is vesicular stomatitis, a viral disease that causes blisters of the oral cavity and lameness. However, simply being touched by a human (or anything else) would not cause the blisters - they are a product of the infection process with this pathogen and would develop regardless of the absence or presence of human contact. The only thing I can think of that could cause a horse to break out in bumps or blisters after being touched by a human would be an allergic reaction to an allergen present on the human. This is similar to what humans experience with poison ivy - the rash and bumps spread due to the oil being spread across the skin through scratching, and humans sensitive to poison ivy oil can get the poison ivy rash after petting a dog that has run through poison ivy.
