Should be nothing to worry about, took a part a dryer a while back that was not venting properly and found literally hundreds of tooth picks blocking the vent pipes. There is no heating elements in or near the vent location to create a fire. Good Luck

Dont worry it will either blow out or possibly eventually catch fire but a tiny toothpic isnt anything major to worry about even if it does. It will most likley blow out the exhuast and if lint doesnt catch fire neither will the toothpic.
