It wouldn't be radiation on his skin- rather, the unstable nuclei of particles giving off the radiation, or radioactive contamination. Skin contamination is nothing to scoff at, but that's what decontamination procedures are for. Now, internal contamination, when it gets into your lungs and intestines... that's bad news. Unless you pass it normally out of your system or it can be removed, you're pretty much resigned to absorbing whatever dose the amount of contamination you ingested confers upon you as it decays.
