I spilled a droplet of tea on the edge of the touchpad on my MacBook Air and am worried about what to expect.

I spilt a drop of tea on my MacBook keyboard Most of the tea went under the keys, but like about 3 tiny tiny drops of tea. I'm starting to worry the tea might get into my actual computer. Immediately put my MacBook upside down and tried to blow it all out. Used a tissue to dry up excess anywhere, and used a microfibre cloth to try and get to difficult places. Please can someone tell me if this is something I should really look into, or is this a lesson learnt with a lucky miss of damaging my Mac? I would highly appreciate a direct answer, rather than links to an apple support site.

Spilled tea on MacBook air hi, I accidentally spilled tea on my desk around 8 hrs ago and it got near my MacBook Air, especially on the speakers and part of the keyboard. I dried everything out with a towel but there’s no water coming out of the ports at all. I’m sure the water got on the keyboard (maybe just a small section of it but still). Could it be that there’s no water inside or is it just a coincidence? Is there any way to tell if any water got on the inside?

Wipe it dry. It'll probably be ok.

Thank you for the reassurance. I've not been electrocuted yet. The most annoying thing about this is that I've lectured friends and family about letting beverages near laptops.

That's just life's way of keeping you humble.
