There
are billions of people on the planet, and the majority of their lives are so

Regardless
of their nationality, the majority of individuals enjoy taking baths or
showers.
The
number of times a person should shower varies throughout persons, but the
notion that one should do so on a frequent basis remains the same.
But
Amou Haji had a different opinion. He made the decision to forgo having a
shower for 67 years. Furthermore, the deceased Persian man stated that he did it
for valid reasons.
He
had not taken a bath in over 60 years and lived alone in Iran. Roadkill was his
favorite diet, and he was rumored to have swallowed animal poo from a pipe.
He
was said to have been born in 1928 and was from the Iranian town of Dez Gah.
Since nobody knew his true name, he was referred to as “old man” or “Amou Haji”
by the people.
There
is a narrative about him that claims he lost his love and turned into a
recluse.
Before dying at the age of 94 in 2022, Amou Haji was known as the 'World's Dirtiest Man.' He lived in a cinder block shack and had not bathed with water or soap for over 60 years.

Amou Haji, widely regarded as the
‘World’s Dirtiest Man,’ passed away in 2022 at the age of 94. He had not taken
a shower or used soap in almost 60 years, and he lived in a shanty made of
cinder blocks.

His
house was on the outskirts of town and was rumored to be built of cinder blocks.
His presence didn’t appear to bother anyone.
When
he felt his beard and hair were growing too long, he set them on fire. His
concern for “hygiene” was limited to that. He had the same gray complexion and
hair.
He
lived to be 94 years old and appeared to be in good health throughout his life,
despite the fact that he didn’t always keep himself clean.
When
it came to drinking water, the elderly man wasn’t terrified of it, despite what
many others believed. It was reported that he drank up to five liters of water
daily out of an unclean tin can.
He
preferred to find food on the ground when it came to eating. Even though fresh
food was offered to him by others, he would always prefer to find his own. He
even declared that porcupines were his greatest animal and that he preferred
roadkill. It was reported that he consumed roadkill flesh that, despite still
being entire, appeared rotting or old.
He
also used a pipe to vape animal excrement. He was rumored to enjoy smoking
cigarettes as well, and he was once spotted puffing on multiples at once.
Despite
having poor food and hygiene, he was reported to be in good health. In reality,
he passed away at the age of 94, just a few months after neighbors persuaded
him to take a bath.
Dr.
Gholamreza Molavi of Tehran University of Medical Sciences’ School of Public
Health examined the elderly man prior to his passing. They were surprised to
learn that despite his lifestyle, he was in good health.
On the other hand, he contracted trichinosis, a parasitic infection transmitted by food. Given that he enjoyed consuming dead animals found by the side of the road, this was not shocking. Either way, it didn’t significantly impact his health.
