World's dirtiest man: 80-year-old hasn't bathed in 60 years

An 80-year-old Iranian man has been tagged as the world's dirtiest man. It is claimed that the man who lives in isolation hasn't taken a bath in six decades, according to Huffington Post.

Amou Haji is also known to eat rotten porcupine meat with relish and smoking animal poop.

The old man claims he started living away from society after he went through emotional setbacks when he was young man.

The man living in southern Iran is scared of taking a bath as he thinks it might make him ill, Huffington Post says.

He seems to have broken the world record of the previously known dirtiest man from India who claims he hasn't bathed in 38 years.
