spilled a DROP of jello on my mac 3-4weeks ago?

so i am using a macpro with retina and about 3-4 weeks ago i was eating jello and i looked down at the keyboard and right in between the F and G key there was like a small drop of liquid from the liquid. i kind of froze for like 5 seconds and shut the computer down, disconnected the charger and ran to get a q-tip(those sticks with cotton at the ends) and gently swiped the liquid off. (This process took like a minute or two). I didn't use for a hour or two after that because the liquid was only one drop (to be precise like the size of a grain of rice). And it worked! But I am still really paranoid that corrosion might damage it or something. But I also kind of researched and read that macbook casings are really protective(?) and theres layers of film underneath the keyboard. So if the accident has been such a long ago (like a month ago) is it fine? And about 3 days ago I kind of sneezed (a quite big sneeze) and like a tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny (very tiny) drop landed like right next to my trackpad. I quickly wiped it off thinking that it might go in the machine but I am not sure if any of my spit did. Right now, I ran the hardware test and found an error about the battery not charging correctly but I ran the hardware test again and it said that everything was fine. Should I be worried? I literally get anxious everyday when I wake my computer up because I think that its gonna be broken or something. I am also not really close to an apple service center right now so is it necessary to get it checked up? (again this jello accident happened 1 month ago) and i have been using it everyday for the majority of the day...

Hi


By the sounds of what your saying you will be fine! If you have wiped away any excess liquid as quick as possible you have done the right thing. I have spilt all sort of bits onto my mac keyboard and trackpad and its still working fine a year down the line! They are defiantly built to a pretty good standard!


Just keep and eye of the keys that you spilt it on to if they start feeling sticky to press then there could still be some liquid within the keys but if its been working fine for a month i would say your in the clear!


Hope this helps
