A lot of ritual and rules in various religions seem to also revolve around sanitation, hygiene, etiquette, etc. I figure these were built in to the dogma so that people would make sure to wash regularly, prepare food safely, and generally do things that prevent illness spreading, even though they really had no understanding of germs and such.
