<p>Bannavva Thippegol (62) is the dead woman. Her husband Thippanna (70) and daughter Lakshmibai (30) have been admitted to a private hospital here.<br />In her hurry to make tea for the two, Bannavva used the substance used to kill lice, instead of tea powder, it is learnt.<br /><br />Soon, the father and daughter fell to the ground and began writhing. A horrified Bannavva realised her blunder and died of a heart attack, according to police. <br /><br />Deputy Superintendent of Police M Muthuraj said it was a mistake that led to the tragedy. “The family is extremely poor and lived in a one-room shack. For lack of space, they had stored both edible and toxic stuff together, and Bannavva mistook the anti-lice powder as it resembled tea dust, and used it to make tea,” Muthuraj said.<br /></p>
