Tell her it's all in her head that nothing isn't going to happen to her. Your probley going to have to put her into the bathtub the first time and demorstrate what washing is again.
Apperently she got this phobia from a passed experience. You probley need to get her into counseling to see why she does this.
I used to bath once a week and thought that I was ok. Well, after a few days after bathing I feel low and not have energy and dirty.

Talk to your parent about it. Or tell her a story saying not washing is worse then the water. Tell her that she can get infections that way. and the surgery is painfull. (i just got surgery for an infection a month ago) it wasn't from not taking showers tho. it was just an infection

Your sister suffers from ablutophobia (say: uh-bloo-tuh-fo-bee-uh): fear of washing yourself or taking a bath or shower.
She needs professional help. She could get sick! And then make other sick!

Years of therapy, and possibly prescription medication.

As long as she doesn't smell it shouldn't bother you. If she smells she needs to go to a counselor for her phobia.
