ASAP - How Serious is Battery Acid????

OK, here's the scoop. I had to swap my wife's battery in 20* weather at 6AM this morning and accidentally dropped the old one onto my concrete walkway. Of course, the battery case cracked and the acid started leaking out!! I put baking soda on it to neutralize it, but I got some of the acid on my jeans, and the battery is still leaking outside.

How bad is this acid? How long will it last? How poisonous (if at all) is it?
