What Are The Side Effects Of Exposure To Skunk Spray?

Hi.. we have a skunk(s)? under our house and animal control can not get out here until Monday. It has sprayed and the smell has come up through the vents in my floor. We shut and covered the vents and aired out the house, however it still lingers and it could happen again. I am worried about my kids including my 18 day old baby. What are the effects the spray could have?
