Can a human get hepatitis from eating turtle meat?

I want to make soft shell turtle stew. Someone told me that people can get hepatitis from eating turtle. I have searched the internet and found no information to support that claim. My grandfather ate it and served it to me and I have never contracted such an illness.

Theoretically, you could contract a disease from infected flesh, so if you do want to eat turtle, you need to make sure you get it from a reliable source.

dont know
why would anyone eat turtles?
ewwww
Dont eat turtles.
Wouldn't cooking it kill hepatitis. Ask someone for sure.
The last time you ate it, not getting Hepatitus was a one off occurance, everyone I know in my town got everytime they ate turtle. It became a sunday dinner tradition for most of us.

We would all wear turtle neck jumpers, and stink to high heaven.

Pick me for ten points please
