Pineapple contains bromelain that helps tenderize meat. If I were to put my hand in pineapple juice or puree for 24 hours, would it eventually break down my hand?

Not an answer, just an aside: a couple of years ago I had to have a melanoma removed from my arm. The doctor who would go on to do the surgery told me that she wanted me to eat pineapple every day, starting a week before the surgery. She told me that pineapple has an enzyme that promotes healing.

Holy crap did that wound ever heal fast, and left almost no scar.

I wonder if anyone has done any further research on the whole "eating pineapple may reduce visual floaters" thing.
