I'll try to explain it in the simplest terms. Humans are not immune to all the bacteria that lives in their gut and intestines. These don't make you sick because they cannot make it through to the lining of your intestines/bowels into your bloodstream. You don't have immunity to bacteria in your stomach - your immune system is in the blood - the two never come in contact with each other.
So how does it enter your blood stream you might ask? same way cold germs are spread - contact with mucous membranes - eyes, nose, open cuts. Do you floss your teeth every day? No? Gums bleeding?
Now you are certainly entitled to come into contact with the stuff that's been fermenting in your tanks if you like - heck save some clean water and take a bath in it. Serve it with grilled cheese. I don't know about wastewater workers but the statement that they come into contact with waste water and then eat lunch is not plausible.
I have significant background here. I won't argue about it on an internet forum. Do what makes you feel good.
Good luck.
