What causes tongue pain after eating pineapple?
Causes of tongue pain when eating pineapple
After the pineapple is ingested, the protein on the tongue and in the mouth is gradually degraded by the enzyme, so that the mucosa covered by the protein is exposed. This is the reason for the sting in the mouth. The tongue is sensitive to the pineapple's sour taste sensation and a tingling sensation appears. Depending on the person, there are also people who feel pinching and pain.
However, because humans often secrete proteins in their saliva, the tongue will be covered by protein again after eating.
What to do if you eat pineapple
Pineapple contains an alkaloid called pineapple enzyme, a proteolytic enzyme that hydrolyzes muscle tissue, dissolves fibrin, and causes a broken tongue. Therefore, when you eat pineapple, you need to soak the pineapple in salt water to minimize the damage of the enzyme to muscle tissue.
Therefore, after eating pineapple, be sure to first soak the pineapple with light salt water for about half an hour before eating.
If you have already eaten a pineapple without salt water, the tongue feels tingling. You can drink salt water or gargle with salt water.
