To get infected with the Egghead status, simply go down to the Demon Ruins, and let an Egg Burdened attack you. If it does a grapple attack, in which the parasite comes out of its body, then leave and stand still and see if your character scratches their head.

If so, then wait a few minutes, and the parasite will appear. If not, repeat until a growth erupts from your character's head. Finally, talk to Eingyi, and he'll comment on how you're infected like him.
