I would just toss them. You have a suspected serious illness, and even with baking or boiling you run the risk of not killing all the bacteria and such that could cause your new hamster to get sick, while it would be much less of a risk to just buy completely new wood toys.

It may cost more short term, but I personally can't justify trying to save money when it could be the difference between a beloved pet staying healthy or getting seriously ill and maybe even dying.
