Dropped my iPhone’s lightning cable in water

It was not plugged into the phone or in the wall. Essentially, I just dropped a cable in water. If I let it dry, can I safely use it afterwards? Or should I buy a new one?

If it were me, I would let it dry and try it out. It seems the worst that can happen is that it doesn't work.

There’s no risk of short circuit then?

Not if it's completely dry. No worries at all.
