I dont know about getting herpes from a turtle but I have a HUGE respect for thier jaw strenght. I have watched turtles breaking off large sections of limestone reef with thier beaks to get at soft corals underneath. I have a series of photos of this if someone would like them posted. A turtle can take your finger off clear through the bone if so inclined... and it IS faster than you in the water.
 
Here are a few pictures
