40 year old stainless utensils suddenly formed blisters
I have a set of 40 year old stainless steel flatware that suddenly developed blisters; little bumps on the surface. Is there anything, any reaction with water content, etc, that would make that happen? Our well water is very sulfurous.
Thanks

I'd bet it's nickel plated flatware. Forty years ago, before the nickel was found to be a suspicious or declared cause of health problems it was a cheap and common substitute of silver.
