Electric Shock

I was recently replacing some common houshold outlets with new ones when I accidentallty got a pretty good shock. It arced my pliers pretty good a caused a lot of sparking and smoke. I recollected my nerves and went on to replace several others. Well I managed to shock myself again, but the usual vibrating type of sensation that you immediately pull back from. It may just be coincidence, but later that evening I began feeling sick to the point where my body ached all over. I would say flu like symptoms, except I did not have a fever. I'm still feeling weak and tired, so maybe I just caught some kind of a bug. Curious to know if anyone has had a similar electric shock and experienced any ill-effects. My not feeling well may very well have nothing to do with the shock. I hope that's the case anyway!

It's probably fine but call your ep to be sure. And next time flip the breaker before you work on outlets. 

You know you're wired when...

You can feel your fingers and toes again.
