A sensitizer is a substance that, following an initial exposure, induces a state of sensitivity or an allergic reaction to subsequent exposures. It causes the immune system to overreact, prompting allergic responses like dermatitis, asthma, or anaphylaxis upon continuous exposure. Sensitizers can include certain chemicals, drugs, or environmental substances.
