Iran: “World’s Dirtiest Man” Dies Shortly After First Shower in Decades
Snake Baker October 26, 2022There’s a lesson in here for all of us.
I’m not sure what that lesson is, but I’m sure it’s somewhere.
An Iranian man known as “the world’s dirtiest man,” who reportedly hadn’t showered for 60 years, died Sunday at the age of 94, according to Iranian state media reports cited by the New York Post.
The man, whom locals referred to by the nickname of Amou Haji, gained a degree of renown due to his alleged 60-year abstinence from showering, according to the New York Post.
Haji feared the use of soap and water could cause him to get sick, the BBC reported. He resisted repeated attempts by fellow villagers to clean him off before finally washing up a few months before he died, according to the NY Post.
The Iranian news agency IRNA said Haji developed a layer of “soot and pus” across his skin, according to the BBC.
Haji spoke about his aversion to fresh food in an interview with the Tehran Times in 2014, according to the BBC. He ate rotted porcupine and also smoked a pipe full of animal feces, the NY Post reported.
There are different articles that put him at different ages, ranging from 87 to 94.
