Can you imagine not showering for a year? Most of us may have gone a maximum of a week without taking a bath but never a year. However, there is a man in Iran who had not bathed for over half a century. It is believed that the Iranian man called the ‘World’s dirtiest man’ did not take a bath for more than 50 years. As per an AFP report, he died at the age of 94 on Tuesday (Oct 25). The man named Amou Haji did not take a bath as he was afraid of water. He breathed his last in a village called Dejgah in the southern province of Fars – one of the 31 provinces in Iran.
