unsensitized

Lacking acquired response

Unsensitized means not made sensitive or responsive to something.

In photography, unsensitized paper or film hasn't been treated to react to light.

In medicine or psychology, someone unsensitized to an allergen or stimulus hasn't developed a reaction to it.

The word also describes people who haven't been made aware of or attuned to particular issues: voters unsensitized to the candidate's dog whistles.
