I found sites that says 100-200 people a year die from food-related anaphylaxis in the US. If you are in the UK, I'll have to keep looking! http://www.epipen.com/anaphylaxis_whatis...

(I googled "deaths anaphylaxis statistics") I tried to find the number over 25 years, but I couldn't.
I suppose you could multiply this by 25. Then you would get
2500-5000 people. It's hard to know because treatments have changed over the years.
I've almost died from this. It's scary!
