Fortunately, we're really good at compensating for blood acidification. It's offset with higher bicarbonate levels and more excretion, which means the reaction uses carbonic acid and hydrogen to offset carbonic acid - pretty low-consequence to produce. Having more bicarbonate raises calcium and potassium levels slightly, but even when it's way outside of any normal exposure it doesn't seem to cause further effects.
