Can radioactive particles like cesium 137 and iodine 131 in rain absorb through the skin?

Just wondering if radiation rain could lead to internal exposure, when I know both types are gamma emitters but I hear contradicting comments on this.issue. It can either be washed off from the skin/hair or it can absorb through the body. Which is it?
