Two patients who presented in Glasgow both went into anaphylactic shock while they were sleeping, nearly four hours after they had consumed meat, said Dr Shepherd

Scary!

I suspect in the line of things that are trying to kill me, this is fairly low down the likelihood scale.

But probably much higher than being struck by lightning, a meteorite, blown up by a terrorist, or in a plane crash.
I would suspect that you spend a significant amount of time out in the countryside, so your chances are much more likely than someone who walks about 400 metres from their car, then goes to the nearest pub or cafe.
