Say someone put their finger (still functional and attached) in adequate pickling brine mixture, and kept it there for a substantial amount of time, would it be possible to pickle that part of your body?

My thought would be, not while your circulatory system is intact.
Any chemical changes that start to occur in the brine would be “diluted” by the fresh blood running through the area.
Prolonged exposure to water can lead to skin breakdown, wounds, infections… eventually death. But I don’t think pickle juice would behave differently from water in this sense.
