The ships on star trek have shields for a reason, what do you think that flash of light is when they exit warp? That's right, it's the junk caught in the grill being destroyed.

 

I actually have no clue, i'm not a star trek nerd.

That's technically not how it works. The shield/deflector dish deflects all particles out of the way of the warp field, preventing that from happening in the first place. This is why the ship cant warp without a deflector.
