This man hasn’t taken a bath since

This man hasn’t taken a bath since
1954
The 80-year-old Iranian man made headlines this
week after a story circulated that he hasn’t bathed
himself in 60 years. Amou Hadji sat down for a
brief photo series that details what could happen to
the human body.
Not surprisingly, Hadji has a deep odor and his
skin is tough and scaly. Hadji is homeless and
refuses to eat food or drink clean water. His
favorite food is dead porcupine and he regularly
smokes a pipe filled with animal feces. Hadji
claims that he has chosen this lifestyle to stay in
touch with with the earth.
From the Tehran Times:
The last record of longest time
going without showers belonged
to a 66-year-old Indian man,
Kailash Singh, who had not taken
a bath over 38 years.
Not to our surprise, when we
searched the reason behind Amou
Haji’s way of life, we found out
that he had gone through some
emotional setbacks in his youth
and from then on decided to live
an isolated life.
He escaped from the hands of a
few young men who offered him
free shower, because he believes
cleanliness brings him sickness.
