What are the odds of me getting chicken pox if i've been exposed and never got any vaccination?

Likely: Chicken pox is easily shared among people who don't have immunity. Immunity is through infection or immunization. It can be contagious a day or 2 before the blisters appear, and remains contagious until all the blisters crust over. It can take 10-21 days to show symptoms once you've been exposed. A vaccine can prevent serious disease. Go to your doc if you get the rash to properly document.

Perhaps: If you do get chicken pox there is a great homeopathic remedy that reduces itching and helps with crusting over. It is rhus tox 30c or 200c . Take three times a day for 3-5 days. If you are asking as an adult also see your md. If you do get chickenpox you want a mild case! your underlying health will affect the course.

Likely But Be Smart: See dr. Stuppy's answer. But to add, if for some reason you do not become infected, immunize asap!
