Positrons are the same in the sense that they don't penetrate far into the skin, but when they collide with a particle in your body, gamma rays are generated by matter-antimatter annihilation. And gamma rays are very bad for you, indeed, as they have both high energy and can easily pass through your tissues.
The emission of a positron or an electron is referred to as beta decay. The positron is accompanied by a neutrino, a massless(?) and chargeless particle. Positrons are emitted with the same kind of energy spectrum as electrons in negative beta decay because of the emission of the neutrino.
