Best Answer

What makes this fruit particularly different is that pineapple has an enzyme called Bromelain. This enzyme 'eats' away at the gums, tongue, and roof of the mouth. Many people believe that letting the pineapple sit out all night, and taking out all of the core can take away some of the irritation.

How do you get your tongue to stop hurting after you eat pineapple?

White furry tongue after eating sweet things?

Bacteria builds up after awhile, which results in the "fur" on your tongue. Also, shortly after eating sweet things, your tongue might burn because the acid in the candy/sweet thing is making your taste buds swell and sting. This usually only happens with sour candy, and the "furry tongue" can easily be reversed by scraping the "fur" off.
