Rinse it in *clean* water, let it dry (or use a hair dryer), then get
all your data off it into safe storage. It will probably work for a
while, but you've probably shortened its lifetime a bit. I've used this
method to recover many keyboards that have had cola or coffee spilled
into them. The key is to get any chemicals/acids/sticky stuff out
before it dries on.
