Keyboard, sweat and moister fingers? Damage? MacBook 2016

Hi,
I did some thinking, yeah I know overthink stuff are not good.
But when you type at the MBP 2016 keyboard and your fingers are getting moisturish for some reason maybe sweat or that you recently have been taking a shower and are still have some water / moister on your fingers.
Or that you need to do something very fast and just getting indoor from the rain and then have some moister (little water) on your fingertips.
Are this effecting the MBP? Could it bee water damage?
I'm hoping that Apple have been taking this in mind when they did disagne the keyboard and that they have some sort of protection so the moister don't get down to the logic board?

In general you don't want any water or moisture anywhere near your Mac--even if it doesn't penetrate down to the logic board, it could still cause problems and possibly trigger the moisture sensor, which could void your warranty. Even if you're in a hurry, take a second or two to wipe off your fingers.
