I read a few years back, people that worked without gloves, handling the pineapple flesh and the juices, lost finger prints. Any truth to that?

Could be - pineapples, especially the stalks, contain a proteolytic enzyme (which breaks down proteins). That may do it - also the fruit, I think, is slightly acidic.
