Doubtful that the dishwasher made the difference even if
the timing was right.

Doctor told me once, main reason for so many more colds
and flu in winter is because people keep their houses
closed up and the viruses multiply in the warm environment.

Also important to wash hands frequently during and after
going out into public and handling things - even money.

Those precautions seem to work for me so I believe.
