The superlative form of ticklish—most sensitive to tickling or most likely to provoke laughter when touched: She's the tickliest person I know; even a light brush makes her squirm.

By extension, tickliest can describe situations requiring the most delicate handling: This is the tickliest part of the negotiation.
