Likely to react badly? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

allergic

(Other definitions for allergic that I've seen before include "Responding badly (to something)" , "Reacting (med.)" , "Having unfavourable reaction to, say pollen" , "Responding badly to certain substances" , "Hypersensitive to something" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
