I sympathise. I'm only allergic to one thing - brazil nuts - so they are easy to avoid, but a doctor friend of mine made me get an epi-pen because, she says, allergies tend to worsen as you get older. I don't go into the full near-death experience, but two friends of mine have egg allergies which are likely to prove fatal, so I take it very seriously.
The onion thing must be infuriating - I know of people who have nearly died because their nearest and dearest assume (despite being told ad nauseam) that they just don't like onions, and sneak them into food.
