First of all, when you bite a chip or a vegetable or whatever, it's not like you stick the whole thing in your mouth- only the part that is bitten off is in your mouth.
Don't forget the portion of carrot between your lips and teeth, as well as the mid-day grime that sloughs off and transfers from your teeth to the carrot.
Second, when you do dip the chip or vegetable into the dip, the dip covers the area and sticks to the chip, covering the part of the food that may have saliva or germs on it. It's not you drop the chip into the dip and mix it in, it's like spraying a layer onto it. At no point does the stuff on the veggi mix directly with the dip that is remaining in the bowl.
Yes, it does mix and slough. Something as simple as osmotic pressure would almost assure it.
It's gross and unsanitary.So what is the issue?
