I found on ytube that she can pay the statue to get cured, she did this, and was cured, went home and a few days later got it again while at home. she had no contact with anyone while she had it the first time.
long post here, but it discusses how to turn every curse from jungle adventure around and make it into a blessing. remedy of the ancients is mentioned in it
