A common misconception.
The chemicals/rods/liquid are radioactive and irradiate you internally. You might have to stay away from certain things, or more accurately keep the radioactive chemicals/tubes/seeds inside you away from certain things.
Your body cannot become radioactive only irradiated. Having radioactive material inside you does not make your body itself radioactive.
