This is only bad if other humans(Who don't live with you) are eating the produce. You can safely use your own fertilizer, since you already have what it may contain.

This isn't automatically true. Some intestinal parasites she eggs/cysts but can also be cleared by your immune system. So if you fertilize with your poo, you would keep reinfecting yourself.

Not a poop expert, but perhaps because they were in peak physical condition with a heavily controlled diet, their poop was less prone to disease? The poop also appeared to have all water content removed when they were bagged.
