Why does eating fresh pineapple make one's tongue feel weird or even hurt?!
Answers:
Pineapples contain a proteolytic enzyme called bromelain, which helps break down foods and is even used as a meat tenderizer!. As a matter of fact, it is rumored that people who pick pineapples often lose their fingerprints after a few years as the chemical eats away at the skin!. In any event, this sensation -- which some compare to touching a 9-volt battery to your tongue -- is generally due to this enzyme!. It has no long-term effects as the mouth's cells reproduce very quickly!.

If you eat a lot of this!.!.!. it's normal!. Pineapple contrains a lot of acid!. To cut the acid, try adding a dash of salt!. (I know, sounds gross, right!? My Mom made me try it and it wasn't bad!. Got the taste of fresh pineapple without the acidy feel!) Don't add too much salt!.
No, I do not think you have an allergy!. You might be more sensative to acid, but I doubt you are allergic!. No harm in eating really fresh pineapple! Rule of thumb!.!.!. the fresher, the more acid!. Fresh pineapple has it's ups AND downs!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I get this, with kiwis especially, they literally burn my tongue, I'm never going near one again, which is a shame because I love eating them ripe, with a spoon =(Www@FoodAQ@Com
