Plant ID help please. Causes itchy rash?

Hi all, my first post! I was hoping someone would be able to help me, I was cutting back a climber in the garden today and its caused myself and my husband to come up in a rash. It was horrible stuff! It has furry branches and yellow flowers and as we cut it back a kind of dust came off of it. Any ideas? I've tried Google but to no avail...I'm hoping that the Gardeners World community will come up trumps! Much appreciated ????

    Fremontodendron californicum by any chance?

    Yes the hairy bits can cause a rash.

    image I have had experience of it. It got consigned to the shredder along with Phlomis fruticosa.
