Actually, no, Clark couldn't play it off easily because Gar specifically says that Conner would want to wash his hands before touching humans and I just found online that poison sumac is related to poison ivy and poison oak, both of which affect all humans. And in case you haven't figured it out yet, the events in Qurac take place between "Agendas" and "Insecurity", both of which episodes take place before Superman reveals his ID to Conner.
