Is it normal to get sick after opening a tablet?

Yesterday, my tablet became waterlogged and so I needed to open it up to check on it. Not just remove the battery, mind you, but actually open it up, exposing the delicate machinery. Well what happened after that was that my head started to feel heavy and was like that for the whole evening, and that night, I started feeling a little achy for a while as well as a bit of a congestion and watery eyes. The heavy head and achiness are gone now, but I now have a sore throat.

Apparently, these are symptoms of a common cold, except I don't have a heavily runny nose. Anyways, do you think this is normal to experience this after opening a tablet computer?

    Probably released all the 3rd world pathogens left by the sweatshop workers who assembled it

      The device I had comes from Taiwan, a developed country.

    You have gotten a computer virus. Didn't you read the warning on your tablet about not opening it up?
    You may have contracted a very, very serious virus and I would get myself to an urgent care clinic, or a computer repair center as quickly as possible.
    GO NOW; DO NOT WAIT!

    Usually, when experiencing troubles like that with a phone, you have to turn it off and then on again. 7.3/10 times it fixes the problem.

    Try turning yourself off?

    You voided the warranty by opening it. That's pretty much a death sentence.

      Warranty expired over a year ago.
