Amou Haji, 94, of Dezhgah, Iran, also known as the World’s Dirtiest Man, refused to bathe for more than 60 years because he was afraid doing so would make him sick, Fox News reported.
Professor Sally Bloomfield, a hygiene expert at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said showering and bathing regularly is only needed to ward off bad body odour.
According to Iranian media, Amou Haji, who has not bathed for more than half a century, died on Sunday in Fars Province noting that he was avoiding bathing for fear of contracting some disease, according to his beliefs.
