Insect frass and crustacean shells are both made of chitin, so that makes sense.
Not these days where I live - the doc wanted my dearest out of the hospital about five hours after a new knee replacement. Anyone who is familiar with the results of this operation will know how interesting that is. She didn't get discharged that early simply because the phsio etc. did not get a chance to meet with her in time. She got kicked out at about 24 hours, and was still in such tough shape that she passed out from pain on the way back to bed from the hotel bathroom that evening. Scared the heck out of me.
I think not, insect frass is not just chitin, it also includes poop and insect food debris. It has a lot of nutrients in it other than chitin or chemicals drived from it. It is actually very nice organic fertilizer quite aside from any presence of chitin from molted insect exoskeletons. This is not meant to criticise the Chitosal product, I know very little about it, and have never tried it. However, whatever it does is not the same as what insect frass does, which would be apparent from any examination of the nutrient content of frass.
