Others have already suggested some possibilities.  True psoriasis
seems to have a strong genetic component.  My father has it, and
so did his mother.  She, incidentally, was a vegetarian (except
for very infrequent fish consumption) for the last 50 years of
her life, so there was no question of it having been triggered by
beef in her case.
