If pineapple has acid, would it lead to devastating effects if someone left a chunk of sliced pineapples in their mouth?

What happens if you leave a pineapple in your mouth for an extended period of time? Pineapples contain the enzyme bromelain, which aids in digestion. It aids in the breakdown of proteins and is a fantastic meat tenderizer. It's also responsible for making your lips tingle, burn, and maybe even bleed.[1]
