Process it properly? You should be able to find out how, or you could just go back to the shop and ask them how.
Some almonds have cyanide in them too.

Well, let's see..... Here in Perú, where I live, Yuca is eaten on a daily basis. I never heard of it being "toxic" since I always cook it before eating hahahahaha... just boil as if you would regular potatoes, or fry in vegetable oil... i guess that as long as it has been coocked through there is absolutely nor eason to worry... many food has "toxic" stuff in it that disappears after cooking properly, no need to worry that Yuca may intoxicate you....
