No, radiation sickness/poisoning is not contagious. This is because, while the infected person does possess radiation, they're not radioactive. However, the source that gave them the radiation is still radioactive, and, as it has the risk of contaminating others, should be professionally disposed of.

When is a person with a common cold contagious?
There does not appear to be a period of time that a cold is least contagious. Scientists believe that a person who has the common cold can be contagious for a few days before their symptoms begin right up until the time when their symptoms subside. This period of time could take up to two weeks. However, the period of time when a cold is most contagious is usually when the symptoms are at their worst, usually 2 to 4 days into the cold.

The actual duration will vary depending on the virus that is involved in the illness.

In the best case scenario, you are contagious while showing symptoms and at least three days after they have cleared.
