How long can you go without showering? When people say they don’t shower every day, we usually find that weird. However, is taking a shower every day necessary? Today we'll show you all that would happen to your body if you decide to stop taking showers altogether.

How long can a human go without a shower? A couple of days, weeks, months, or years? Well, it all depends on who you ask. For one Iranian man Amou Haji, that would be 60 years! Yes, you read that right, a whopping 60 years. Reason? He believes that “cleanliness brings him sickness.” The man hates contact with water, and even the suggestion of a bath makes him angry. You could argue that the man is mentally ill – that may very well be true, but it’s not a certainty.

Many people will scarcely go for more than several days without taking a shower. Not showering will do more than just make you smell. It can cause illness from bad bacteria and make your skin breakout. Unless you're camping in the backcountry, you probably shower regularly.

If you can smell yourself going about your day. Most everyone else can as well. There's no universal rule here, some people start to smell bad in less than a day after showering, others can go up to 2 weeks, possibly longer, before it becomes detectable. A lot of this has to do with unique body chemistry and diet.

Some dermatologists only recommend a shower every other day, or two to three times a week. Many people hit the shower at least once a day, either in the morning or at night before bed. Depending on the day and your activity level, you might even take two or three showers.

We searched the Internet to find some humans who've thrown hygiene out the window and compiled a list of effects they experienced when they decided to ditch the shower.
