Because you have a slight allergy to pineapple.

you're allergic to it.
i had this same reaction when i ate watermelon,honeydew,cantelope, and avacados...
stop eating the pineapple-and be very careful when drinking or eating things that contain fruit-check the labels first to make sure there isn't pineapple in it.
the more you are exposed to an allergy, the worse it gets-so if you continue to eat the pineapple-you will have a worse reaction each time, which could end up being life threatening with your throat swelling up and closing, not allowing you to breathe.
if you accidently come into contact with pineapple again and you start to itch-you can take oral bendadryl tablets. take 1-2 of the 25mg tablets every 6 hours but no more than 4 doses in 24 hours.
if the benadryl doesn't help and your symptoms get worse-itching increases or you develop hives, make a trip to the emergency room...

It's the acid in the pineapple, I have the same problem with pineapples, oranges and grapefruit. They also make my lips itch too.
I don't think there's a remedy so I only eat fresh citrus and pineapple in moderation.

you are allergic to pineapple. This is not something to take lightly. This can develop into something very serious. My brother is allergic to pineapple, if he eats it...his throat can swell up and he intrn may suffercate. You should take an allergy test. Talk to your physician and ask him to suggest an allergy specialist.

Stop eating pineapple!
You are allergic to it.
The more you eat it, the more allergic you will become.
Eventually, you will have a serious attack of hives. This can kill you by paralyzing your lungs.
Believe me -- been there.

either you might be allergic to it or the acid in it might be "eating" your skin. when my mom eats fresh pineapple, it will make cuts in her tongue and it will even bleed from the acid. that might be happening to your throat.

theres a word in spanish that is "gichar" if you eat some part of the pineapple that will happen so watch what part you eat.
