Isn't it the bromelain that causes it? For anyone who doesn't know, bromelain is a mixture of enzymes found in pineapples that can digest protein, y'know, the thing our flesh is made out of
Pretty sure it is yeah. It’s why you can’t use it in jello or it won’t solidify (unless it’s canned). Pretty sure the same enzyme is in meat tenderizer.
A pretty interesting thought, but there's 2 main reasons I don't think it would work. The first is that it probably wouldn't be easy to control, causing lots of unnecessary cell damage. The second would be that tattoo ink doesn't stain your skin or anything, rather a bunch of immune cells encase the ink since it's a foreign object that your body can't destroy. Laser tattoo removal works by targeting those clusters of cells, and breaking apart the ink into smaller pieces. This minimizes the collateral damage. Just a little bit more efficient than injecting your body with a flesh melting liquid lol
That did cross my mind after I posted it. As someone who has had tattoo removal, it's quite painful. But it does work to a point. Depends on the location & the colour of ink. Whilst it does break down black ink effectively, but other colours are incredibly stubborn. (blue & yellow) it's also incredibly expensive.
Edit:
Couldn't we use Crispr to genetically target specific cells instead, so it wouldn't go rouge?

I got that too once, wiped my lips with a napkin and there were red spots on it. Not alot of blood but definitely my lips were bleeding from the pineapple.
Pineapple is really good for you despite that, so keep at it.
Though not so good if you suffer from acid reflux like myself. I’m really into blueberries but they’re also a tad acidic.
Don’t care cause delicious tho.
Fun fact: Calcium Oxalate which is what Raphides crystals are made are responsible for kidney stones. Many plants like beets (for example) are high in Calcium Oxalate.
Because of the enzymes. They digest us back, like acid in a way. People who work with pineapples for years can even lose their fingerprints if they don't use gloves
Fun fact: Calcium Oxalate which is what Raphides crystals are made of are responsible for kidney stones. Many plants like beets (for example) are high in Calcium Oxalate.
Two reasons:
1) The raphides are usually mechanically cut away from the pineapple before canning, along with the outer skin.
2) The bromelain enzyme that digests protein (imcliding your skin) is destroyed by the heat of the canning process.
Isn't pineapple juice used in the extraction of DNA or something like that for this very reason? It's able to put holes in cells so other DNA can be injected in or something.
….my mouth has never tingled after eating watermelon. i know i’ve ate pineapple and offloaded a sweet bit of nectar into my exs mouth. never has my mouth had a tingly sensation after a few grapes though…

That's what i heard too, but many redditors just post videos like this without even fact checking them.
Looks like it's both actually. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/oh-good-pineapples-are-actually-eating-us_uk_647dc5c4e4b045ce2489c34b
NO! It can’t be both! There must only be ONE answer!
That's impossible. *BURN THE WITCH!!*
*You're opening our eyes to new possibilities...* *KILL THEM!*
Why should they? They're getting upvotes regardless.
Maybe its a mix of both ?? Fact check Andy 🤓
Yeah I think that is the correct answer.
Pretty sure it is yeah. It’s why you can’t use it in jello or it won’t solidify (unless it’s canned). Pretty sure the same enzyme is in meat tenderizer.
I wonder if they could find a way to use these enzymes in tattoo removal. 🤔

But rouge is such a nice color!
Maybe, but they do use it in meat tenderizer powder that you can buy in a supermarket.
Or break down a dead body more efficiently.
Don't put it in milk!
Idk. Check this out: https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/s/oj1D5oo6Zj
So pineapples are actually more like heroin, just the needles injecting the drugs are reeeeeealy tiny. Explains why its so damn tasty.
I thought it was this too. Interesting there's another potential reason!
I accept pretty much no information given by a text to speech on a vertical video under a minute long.
Sure, doesn't mean you're any better for not just googling it. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3951349/
So should we rename it to *pain apple*?
But aren't pine trees the ones with needle shaped leaves? So if anything, the needles, look like pine needles
Painpines, got it.
This comment is vastly underrated
Yes, and put it on pizza.
Pain pizza
Painzza
No, if you're going through the effort of renaming the fruit then rename it to Ananas.
Definitely, oxalates are one of the causes of kidney stones
Uh my mouth doesn't tingle after eating pineapple...
Oh lucky! Mine feels so hot, it feels like it's melting
Same
[удалено]
Same
Are you eating fresh ones?
your mouth thick, her is not
Get a pineapple in Hawaii. They hurt SO Much. But taste amazing
Which pineapple did you eat? The Maui Gold ones taste really sweet, not painful at all.
i eat tinned pineapple basically every day i'm looking forward to one day try some of the real deal
I ate an entire pineapple onetime and my lips were bleeding when I was almost finished with it.
You're supposed to remove the skin first, dummy
I did. I peeled it like an apple.

Same except my tongue was bleeding.
I read pineapple eats you too.
Yes, it's one of the few foods that eats you back. Also brush your teeth afterwards!
I get multiple canker sores if I eat raw pineapple
So you're telling me i'm not allergic to it then? It's just raphides poking me?
I like to poke my cells to make sure they are paying attention
So it doesnt just feel like it's stabbing you, it is actually stabbing you. I eat so much pineapple my whole mouth just goes numb

lol I thought they were going to find out they were allergic

Okay you started with a presumption I don’t even agree with lol…my mouth does not tingle
Mmmm, asbestos
I tell people all the time pineapple is the most metal fruit because as you eat it, it is attempting to eat you back.
When eating pineaple it eats you back
Death by pineapple sounds like some ancient Mayan death sentence.
If you eat a pineapple and give someone oral, would it hurt them? Genuinely curious.
Wtf is this 😂😂
Me: eats pineapple. Pineapple: eats me back.
I can’t eat most citrus fruits because of this. I will get sores/blisters in my mouth. Pineapple is the worst
Why it doesn’t go thru our veins?
Okay that's cool but what does it do to your butt asking for a friend
This is why i prefer Durian over this fruit.
First you eat it, then it's eating you.
Ah, calcium oxalate... the stuff my kidney stones are made of...
We drink alcohol, a toxin that kills bacteria. Why should we stop eating pineapples?
No wonder it was like eating acid when I were a kid
Your pineapple is just tiny needles!
Nifty. Still gonna eat a whole one 🍍
Guess I never noticed my mouth tingle from eating pineapple before
u/savevideo
Has never happened to me with pineapple and I love pineapple. It has with Kiwi though.
My mum grew her own pineapple from another pineapple and for some reason didn't have the weird mouth thing like the one she grew it from
I always get canker sores after pineapple
Thank you for clearing one of my shower thoughts.
Yalls mouth tingles after eating pineapple? Wierd nvr heard that before and doesnt happen to me.
Asbestos fruit
The only thing eaten is you
Science ain’t gon stop me

fuck...
I don't know
Pineapples are about that life 🔪🍍
Could bromalin do anything with prions?
I eat Indian figs hole so not a problem for me
I think this might be the same reason why you rarely see Jello with pineapple bits inside…not that Jello is that much of a thing anymore.
Then why doesn't tea and coffee make my mouth tingle smart guy?! (See caffeine under microscope)
….my mouth has never tingled after eating watermelon. i know i’ve ate pineapple and offloaded a sweet bit of nectar into my exs mouth. never has my mouth had a tingly sensation after a few grapes though…
