I recently learned that at one time eating fish was thought to cause leprosy.
There was indeed a link, but not what they thought.
People who live on fish are less likely to come in contact with cows, and thus less likely to be exposed to tuberculosis bacteria, which (if they don’t kill you) give some cross-immunity to leprosy bacteria.
