How come when you eat pineapples your tongue is itchy?

That happens to me and my friends whenever this happens.

It might be the strong citrus from the pineapples rubbing on your taste buds. I know what you mean though.

Maybe you're mildly allergic to it.

I have a severe allergic reaction to pineapple, meaning I break out in hives and my throat can swell up...if your tongue just feels itchy you probably are having a minor reaction.

Sounds like you have a bit of a food allergy. I've never experienced that problem with pineapple.
