One time, 20 years ago. I read that taking a shit ton of niacin would clear up acne by creating a “niacin flush” that would like, super circulate your skin and make it nice.
It turned me beet red and made me feel like my lungs were sunburned and itchy as fuck. I called the advice nurse and she was like, yeah… that’s what you signed up for. It will pass in a few hours. Drink lots of water 🤷♀️
But lung insides are nearly an external organ, so that probably doesn’t count.
Ohh yeah, that niacin flush… I was on a niacin prescription once and was warned about the flush. I was not prepared for what that actually felt like. They said it would be tingly, like pins and needles. It actually felt like I rolled around in hot sauce after exfoliating with sandpaper. I thought was having an allergic reaction to my bed sheets for a few minutes before it finally clicked. I was almost ready to head to the ER.
Ha, niacin was our go-to for passing drug tests as a kid. That full body sunburn was something else. Not even sure it actually helped, but hey, never failed one!

Plus, coughing is basically reacting to a lung itch.
did it work?
