Russ, >From an electronic standpoint, I'd dump the card and take no chances. There might be some moisture in the card and with that solid state circuitry it's not to hard to short circuit the camera and then the bill to repair it would be a bit more than the cost of a new card. It's kind of hard to be sure you have all the water out, and it doesn't take much to cause some damage.
