reflow would probably melt it. I would just let it sit, for a day or two. Anywhere that's not humid. If you need to use it now, maybe put it in the dryer on low/medium in the zipped pocket of something?

These are false and FUD articles.

It was an exploit that was fixed with a firmware update. Shortly after it was fixed someone posted an article with pictures saying they figured out a way to replicate it after the patch using pictures skipping most of it and just describing the old exploit and claimed it couldn't be fixed.

However this person was asking 20 BTC to reveal the full exploit and it has never been revealed because he was bullshitting. Your coins are safe.

the bip39 consists of a 2048 wordlist and was created in a way that even with only 2 o 3 letters you could reconstruct the entire word

Not noting your seed defeats the purpose but that didn't stop you. It's insecure, yes, but as long as it's a temporary measure and you clean up after it the chances of it being compromised are minimal. Assuming (naively) that your computer and local network are virus and malware free already.
