God created mysterious people in this world and one of them is Haji, an 80 year old Iranian who
claims cleanliness makes him sick and decided not had a face wash since over sixty years.
It is generally acceptable for most of us to stay clean by taking our bath, brushing our teeth and doing other hygienic things but there is one man who has not washed nearly all his life and still existing.
We gathered that Haji currently lives in isolation in Dejgah village, in Southern Iran. He is probably in isolation according to his own discretion or whether he plan to leave the peoples environment because of the unbearable smell.
Because of the lack of a face wash for so many years his skin has become the colour of Earth. In fact it has become a kind of camouflage making him difficult to spot at a distance.
According to an Iranian Journalist who filed this report, “His entire self-maintenance is extremely bizarre to the likes of you and me but to Haji it`s normal. For example when he needs a haircut or a shave Haji prefers to burn his hair rather than cut it.
If you think that is strange enough then listen to his peculiar eating habits. Haji does not like fresh meat or water. He only eats food that is rotting and drinks water from a dirty and rusting old can”.
Another thing that make this man different is that most normal people like to have a puff on tobacco, but he prefer to smokes animal faeces.
Haji lives out his days in a hole in the ground similar to a grave and despite his strange way of living he seems quite content with his life.
The local villagers have tried to help Haji by building him a simple brick shack to sleep in and while he has used it on numerous occasions he does often return to his whole in the ground.
He has become a sort of celebrity among the locals who have nicknamed him Amou Haji. ‘Amou’ is the Farsi term of endearment for a kind old man.
Haji lives his life without a care in the world. He has nothing to lose and so has nothing to fear.
