hypersensitivity

noun hypersensitivities

  1. countable, uncountable Any heightened immune response to an antigen; an allergy; hypersensation.
  2. countable, uncountable The state of being easily offended or hurt. "I might say," remarked Professor Richet, "that the hyper-sensibility is moral as well as physical. Panbek is impressionable and full of emotion, with the temperament of the poet and all those little weaknesses, if we may call them so, which the poet pays as a ransom for his gifts."
