If it's any consolation, I've accidentally put a USB memory stick through a washing machine and had it come out OK, and I've deliberately put a couple of keyboards through a dish washer cycle - no detergent, of course - to clean them. Water on its own doesn't mess up electronics, the harm if any is done by the contaminants in it, and any damage done by electricity conducting through it before it dries.
