Hep A sounds pretty serious. It could eventually kill you.

Consider researching Milk Thistle.

I've had food poisoning twice. Once when I was 7 years old when we were
traveling to Alaska and got ahold of some bad smoked salmon (I remember
being deathly ill from that, and so were my parents and sister) and have
had Salmonella once from a bad raw egg that was from my own carelessness.

I try to be careful with food safety and imho, it's easy to become
overly paranoid, but it still must be treated with respect and a certain
amount of common sense...

I'll NEVER give up half-raw (or raw) beef or runny egg yolks, but will
attempt to temper it with common sense.

Unfortunately, common sense appears to be an oxymoron. :-(
