Ouch! I accidentally knocked one of my Bluetooth cellphone head-sets into a sink as I was running water into it.

I could not readily disassemble the head-set or otherwise remove its battery, but I have put it into a finger-bowl filled with rice, as this was the best desiccant that I had in quantity. I guess that I'll leave it in there for at least a day.

Up-Date (2008:12/18): In the event, I left the head-set in the rice for a little more than three days. It seems to be working satisfactorily, except that the connection to the charger seems a bit flaky, and I believe that that problem isn't significantly related to the fall into the sink.
