Had some dry ones, so I stuck them in a baggie of distilled water.....and forgot about them for 2 weeks. Pulled them out today and:
So are they toast?
Please. You don't have to call me a cheap arse because I already know it....yes, I could buy new ones, but what's the fun in that?

Oh, and my bet is that your wife thinks it's your turn to do the dishes, that's why that looks that way.

@TNBigfoot68 has described the "better safe than sorry" method. You are asking the Boveda to do the exact thing the Boveda was designed to do. And the Boveda say's "Aye Captain". Dunk 'em under water and you'll hear no complaints. They'll just do it faster.
I know, You're a big dog and I'm on the list.

It'll be fine once the swelling goes down.
Edit: I do let them dry out thoroughly before dunking them again, had what looked to be mold in some a while back, hold them up to the light, any question toss them.
At any given time the urge to sing "In The Jungle" is just a whim away... A whim away... A whim away...
Another idea is to use gel beads (the 70% RH variety) to plump up those Boveda inside a sealed container instead of just using water, this way no soaking is ever done.
Salts leaving the bag during a bath? Well sheuht! Has anybody ever considered that? I haven't? Can't remember it being brought up here on our forum either. If it was I missed it.
I suppose I could taste the bath water to be sure.
