Courtesy: dr.nambisons.com World’s Smelliest & Dirtiest Man Alive: Amou Haji, Iranian Who Hasn’t Shower For 60 Years Makes History, because he thinks that cleanliness will bring him sickness. This Dirtiest man in the world smokes animal feces and hasn’t bathed in 60 years, “When asked to eat clean food and drink clean water, he gets mad,” according to report. He may have the title of “Dirtiest Man in the World” because it’s been reported that the previous record holder for not bathing was 66-year-old Indian man Kailash Singh, who went over 38 years without washing. Haji apparently had some “emotional setbacks in his youth” that led him to begin leading his current lifestyle. In addition to the issue with bathing, Haji also enjoys dining on the rotten meat of dead porcupines and “when asked to eat clean food and drink clean water, he gets mad.” Besides eating animals, Haji also enjoys stuffing his pipe with animal feces and will only ingest tobacco by smoking multiple cigarettes at once. Dirty smoke2   Haji alternates between living in a grave-like hole in the ground “to keep him grounded and in touch with the reality of life” and a brick shack. On the healthy side, he does keep his hair neat and trimmed — by burning it over a fire — and drinks five liters of water every day out of a rusty oil tin.

Let us now consider Antim. crude  Clarke says “Antim. crude corresponds in a sense to the race of swine, as Arsenic does to horses and Pulsatilla to sheep.” Further he says: It is preeminently a scrofulous medicine, corresponding to gross constitutions with tendency to rough scaling skin with horny patches.

  • The sulphur element in Ant. crud. is strongly pronounced in the provings < from cold washing (less severe after warm washing), from cold water and cold food.
  • Eruptions which appear chiefly in the evening, or which itch in the heat of the bed, and prevent sleep.
  • Thick, hard scabs, often honey-yellow, here and there a crack oozing a green sanious fluid, burning as if immersed in hot embers.
  • Corns and callous excrescences on the feet.
  • Nails discoloured and deformed.
  • Degeneration of the skin.
  • Fungus of the joints.

But if we look at sulphur it seems more close owing to similarity in mental sphere. SULPHUR: Aversion to be washed, always < after a bath.

“< By heat” is another keynote of Sul., and marks it out as the remedy in a large number of cases; the < is most noticeable by warmth of the bed.  Great indolence and repugnance to all exertion, both mental and bodily. Too lazy to rouse himself up, and too unhappy to live. – Clarke
