The 'palmetto bug' is actually another name for the cockroach.
But it's not the shy, brown-colored little guy that scurries under your desk.
Palmetto bugs live in the deep south, from South Carolina to Florida.
Palmetto bugs are significantly larger than their northern brethren, blacker in color, and bolder. They won't hesitate to drop on your head or run across your toes.
Also, Palmetto bugs can fly. They are also better armored than cockroaches.

I hate palmetto bugs. I saw one in my room this evening and I sprayed a third of a can of roach spray in my room. Where there is one palmetto bug nearby, there is probably a whole colony. Now I will never get to sleep.

Scrubby, palm-like bush native to the South Carolina. Widely available dried, ground and put into OTC supplements in capsule form from numerous manufacturers.
Since this herbal product is not regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), empirical claims or benefits are hard to come by. It may be just a nostrum, but many middle-aged men consider it helpful for prostate function or flow.
Manufacturers' recommended dosages are usually one or two capsules per day. Common formulations include 100 mg per capsule for saw palmetto from the berry portion only, or around 500 mg from the overall plant, sometimes including some berry-only derived saw palmetto and other additives such as pygeum and pumpkin seed.

"Uncle Jerry says saw palmetto makes him hornier because it works with zinc to increase and improve the flow of prostatic fluid."
"Prostatic fluid?"
"Yes, Kyle, the stuff that makes up about two-thirds of your semen."
"Are you sure it isn't just a nostrum with a placebo effect?"
"Could be, but why would my uncle avoid something that he knows has helped him even if the way it works is merely psychological?"
