Thumb drives (aka USB drives) are solid-state devices with no moving parts. It's basically just a small circuit board with an EPROM chip. Once it dries out completely (I mean completely - don't want to short circuit the thing because there's still some moisture inside), you should be good to do. Give it two to three days before trying it out. If you want to try to use it sooner, I suggest getting a dessicant packet (those little packets you find in the box with new electronics) and putting that and the drive in a zip-lock bag or other sealed container.
