"Night soil" (human poop) fertilizer has a way higher risk of disease to humans than manure (animal poop) because it's rare for pathogens to infect multiple species. Some pathogens do cross species lines - avoiding nightsoil on human food crops is not a standalone protection - but it's an important way to significantly reduce risk.

Septic tank discharge fields are great places for flower gardens. No veggies.
