If it shorts out again, it should blow the breaker again.
Me, I'd want to take the area apart, and separate, and tape
the wires. But, that's just me. From where I sit, it appears
a very low risk of further problems.

This does not constitute legal or contractor advise, and I
accept no liability for your decision.

Had a guy come in to help put up wood moulding in the
kitchen. Must have
hit a wire becaue it blew a breaker.
He pulled the nail out (small nail) and hammered it in
elsewhere. Flipped
the breaker back on. Said don't worry about it.

Now I lie awake at night fearing its a fire hazard.

Is it?
