Default Stick welder shocking me on DCEP

While doing that car hauler axle install I used 7018 rod on DCEP as specified by the Miller calculator.

I got the crapped knocked out of me every time I touched the metal or held the ground clamp. Even through gloves and standing on my feet with rubber sole boots.

I was wet with sweat and my gloves were also damp but I wasn't grounded was I?

Anyway, I changed over to DCEN and it never shocked me again. I also noticed the rod ran better on DCEN than it did on DCEP

What the heck was happening? I don't usually get shocked and as hot as it is here I am usually always wet with sweat.
