Iranian man unwashed for 60 years

An Iranian man hasn't washed for more than 60 years.

Amou Haji hasn't washed for three decades as he believes cleanliness would make him fall ill, but when his hair needs a trim he takes care of it by burning his locks over a fire.

The 80-year-old lives in a small village in Iran and when it comes time to sleep he nests in a hole in the ground or in an open brick shack, which concerned locals constructed for him.

Amou - who dresses in rags, smokes animal faeces and lives on a diet of rotten meat - claims to have beaten the previous record of going the longest time without washing by nearly 25 years.
