The news of a 1.5-year-old baby dying after consuming tea was difficult to fathom. Kids often loiter around us and pick the habits we do in front of them. Sipping on tea is one of them. Most probably many kids play with kitchen sets having small tea sets and we introduce them to tea without giving any thought. In many families, kids are given small amounts of tea when they ask for it. In the unfortunate case, which happened in Madhya Pradesh’s Dewas, a 1.5-year-old boy died after consuming tea. As per the report, the child was with his maternal grandparents, and soon after he drank tea he stopped breathing.
"The boy was brought dead to the hospital, so we can't comment on the cause of death," hospital superintendent Dr. Preeti Malpani told TOI.
