If a Jainist got head lice or scabies what would they do?

As you are probably aware, Jainism rose in the 6th century as a revolt against Hinduism. They believe in asceticism, immortality of the soul and the transmigration of the soul. They do not believe in a perfect and supreme being. They are people, sadly mis-informed but they would probably do as any other, seek the quickest most effective treatment. A guy told men one time that if you shave one half of your head and set the other half on fire, the lice would all run out so you could hit them with a hammer. I did not try it nor do I recommend it.

What can cause a full body rash to suddenly appear--face trunk legs arms--with no itching and no other apparent symptoms other than low grade fever for a few hours three days ago?

Fifth disease?? Google the symptoms for this disease as it sound very much like what you've described barring any unmentioned symptoms. Fifth disease begins with a low-grade fever, headache, and mild cold-like symptoms (a stuffy or runny nose). These symptoms pass, and the illness seems to be gone until a rash appears a few days later. The bright red rash typically begins on the face. Several days later, the rash spreads and red blotches (usually lighter in color) extend down to the trunk, arms, and legs. The rash usually spares the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. As the centers of the blotches begin to clear, the rash takes on a lacy net-like appearance. Kids younger than 10 years old are most likely to get the rash. Older kids and adults sometimes complain that the rash itches, but most children with a rash caused by fifth disease do not look sick and no longer have fever. It may take 1 to 3 weeks for the rash to completely clear, and during that time it may seem to worsen until it finally fades away entirely. http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/skin/fifth.html#

What could be wrong if your 2-year-old has small red raised non-itching rash-pimples scattered on his arms legs hands feet and he finished a fever a week ago after having a virus for 4-5 days?

The rash could be a mild reaction to medication that he's been taking or due to the fever itself. If the rash does not spread, and is not itchy or changing color then it will clear up on it's own. I would not advise using any creams or lotions to treat this unless it does become itchy or worsen. Leave it alone. Also, fevers, colds, and illness in general can deplete certain vitamins and minerals in the body so I would suggest that you pay attention to good nutrition for your child at this time. If the rash becomes itchy or changes then call your pediatrician and have on hand a list of all medications that your child has taken....including anything over the counter. Could be "giannotti crosti" My child had this and it was diagnosed by a dermatologist. It initially develops as a result of a virus.
