This is just like what my mom told me about some cockamamie story about bugs or something in wooden throw away chopsticks. She carries her own pair of collapsible metal chopsticks in her purse. I would think bacteria or not washing them after using them would be grosser. She just wipes them down and puts them back in her purse.
I think it's just a chinese urban legend to get people to buy collapsible chopsticks.
