What is Sensitivity:

the state of being sensitive or hypersensitive: such as.

• the capacity of an organism or sense organ to respond to stimulation : irritability.

More is your body sensitive from any particle, substance or energy; more you will react when you come in contact with that particular thing or energy.

Less the sensitive you are, substance or energy will not easily affect you.
