How Long Do People With Severe Allergies Live?

I work with children and we recently had a disscussion about some kids who can't even be in the same room with peanuts or milk. So much so that even residue or the scent in the air will cause a serious attack. The nurse told us that with each exposure the reaction gets worse! Obviously it's nearly impossible to avoid all contact with these foods. If each reaction gets worse, won't the children eventually die from this? Is it typical for people with food allergies that are that serious to have shortened life spans?
