How to handle a highly toxic plant?

I have been reading up on euphorbia plants as I have found 4 in my garden and now I am terrified of handling them! I didn't actually know it was a euphorbia until I went in search of the Identity of the plant and came across this site:
http://www.theamateursdigest.com/epoisons.htm

I only read all this horrifying information on the plant AFTER I had cut off the seed heads and started collecting the seeds! Just how dangerous is this variety please, as I have to move 3 of them from their positions and how can you take basal cuttings from it without getting burnt from the sap?

Wear gloves and safety glasses, I nearly died from anaphylaxis and someone had to be rushed to the hospital because the sap got in his eyes and it can blind you. The variety that has the most sap is E charcias. I wore gloves, but itched my face and just that little contact sent me to the hospital, needless to say I do not have any euphorbias. Not everyone has this reaction, but I did not know that I was allergic to it.

Looks like an erysimum or wall flower.
