Pineapple tongue

JessicaR Posts: 467 Joined: 2002/08/12	2004/02/22, 02:46 PM I love fresh pineapple but for some reason it makes my tongue numb, my whole sense of taste changes and everything I eat after it tastes like... poi. Or at least tasteless mush, which is what I imagine poi would taste like. Is this normal or am I having some weird reaction to pineapple?
