My old dm had a good solution. They’d have you roll 1d6+1 diseases off of the disease table if you didn’t clean the excrement-coated clothes properly. Prestidigitation offered advantage and cut cleaning time down severely, but you still had to get it properly clean or risk a mysterious rash sometime down the road.You could get diseases after Prestigitation? Damn.

Damn.The way he perceived prestidigitation was that it removed the overwhelming majority of solid and liquid mess, but the mess and microbiome can remain in small part. It isn't a fourth dimensional biological sieve, it’s a bulk remover. You still have to kill or remove the remaining spores and whatnot. Phrased another way, would you be comfortable touching your eye after wiping? You used toilet paper. You can see neither feculence nor pathogens on your hand. It should be safe, right?

Took me a while to clock it. For those in a similar position the stabbed person didn't magically get resurrected, like I first thought.

I do everything I can to jolt the players out of modern-think and ito fantasy and magic.

I'm a first responder. I occasionally have to go through the pockets and belongings of unresponsive or dead people to search for ID or medical information. Obviously I'm not doing it to steal anything, but it has occurred to me that I have one of the few jobs where I actually "loot" corpses.
