I'm personally always more worried about getting my tegu sick than him getting me sick. A few weeks ago I was out with the flu or something and I refused to handle him because I didn't want him to catch the bug. Lol. I've eaten around him, he's never become food aggressive, likely because his bellies already full. Only time I've ever had an issue was when he snuck up on me once and snagged a chunk of beef jerky. But animals have never made me sick.
