Answers:

If you don't know what it is, it can scare the crap out of you. When it happens, you turn red, feel very hot and itch ( all over). Taking half an aspirin will make it go away. They recommend that you take it at bedtime.

I take prescription time release niacin and get the flush once and awhile. I don't know if over the counter doses would do that to you or not.
