I have way too much experience with this issue...my skin crawls sometimes...lol
Some people have a high acid content in their perspiration. The acid reacts to certain metals and usually turns green. If you looked at "Pitted Temples" you usually see some green on them too. That's caused by the reaction of acid to the metal.
Frames made of Nickel Silver or Monel are those that have issues with corrosion with some patients.
Soooo.....do I get that drink?
