Ewww! This Man Hasn’t Taken A Bath In 65 Years

Wow! And we can’t go a day without…

Amou Haji, aged 83, lives in a village called Dejgah in the southern Iranian province of Fars. He has not bathed for 65 years. He believes that the dirt strengthens his immune system and that he would get sick if he were to be clean.

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. But Amou Haji has broken that record by a long mile. Amou went through some emotional turmoil in his youth and decided he wanted to break apart from society by living an isolated life. 

Amou Haji’s weird habits

Amou Haji mostly eats rotten food. Just like with his objections to cleaning his skin, he believes that eating clean food and drinking clean water makes your body weak and allows you to get sick quicker. He wears an army helmet to keep his head from getting cold and enjoys his solitude. Do you want to see where he lives?

Where does Amou Haji live?

Amou Haji has a couple of places to live in: one is a hole in the ground resembling a grave to keep him grounded and in touch with the reality of life and the other is an open brick shack built by those who felt sorry for him. How nice of them!

On the next page you’ll find out why Amou Haji might be luckier than you or me.

A simple life

Amou Haji might be one of the happiest people in the world. His roof is the starred sky; his little shack is paid in full without worrying about monthly mortgages; instead of sleeping in a bed, the soft cushion of the earth embraces him every night. He doesn’t have to worry about bills, nor does he have to worry about getting robbed, because he has no possessions. He feels happy despite having no belongings and maybe that is exactly why he is joyful.

You might think that Amou Haji doesn’t care for himself, but on the next page you’ll find out why you’re wrong.

Taking care of himself

Amou Haji drinks five liters of water every day, which is a healthy habit for someone who’s constantly out in the sun. He drinks it out of a large rusty oil tin. He also cares about keeping his hair trimmed and cut. But instead of going to expensive barbershops, he burns it over a fire.

We’re glad that he has found happiness in his way of life, no matter how weird it might look to us.
