I was pickling cucumbers and they had blue spots on them even before I heated them in the jars. HELP??????

The blue spots appeare on the cucumbers after I put the lids on the jars. Before I heated them in water to seal the lids. What does that mean? Can this lead to some kind of food poisoning? Is this normal when pickling cucumbers?

I have never heard of blue spots on cucumbers before. I wouldn't use them
