Divinewhisper07 PM'd me with more details, adding a cunning man said this "hexed guy might die soon or something."
Good advice all.
I'm heads down in a project right now and forgot there are new people here, and I wrote the following reply off the cuff:
Typically in Brujeria or Hoodoo an Uncrossing working (or "spell" in English) - and then a Cut and Clear working would be called for here. Ingested trabajos typically only last until it is "passed through."
We sorcerers are mean mutherfuckers who are always drumming up business. But unless they called a very hostile manifestation of a spirit like Anima Sola or Andras he is in no real trouble, and I would usually ignore what the magician says, unless they are a very trusted person you know. Even then people sure do LOVE love the drama.
IF the sorcerer did call up a hostile spirit you can also just pay the spirit off.
Like, " Oh, so that cheap bastard offered you 3 candles and some moldy old bananas? That's how much he thinks of you. Well, how about you let my friend go , and I give you 10 candles over 5 weeks along with singing your praises, and at the end of it all you get hamburger. "
Many spirits love hamburgers. Burnt offerings are like catnip. Make it , buy it, does not matter. If you do it right you can send them back to the sender and get in a real sorcerers war

Good times! In Haiti they teach the person who gives them more attention and bribes usually wins.
I forget to add : Try to bribe them and butter them up UNLESS the are sent by are sorcerer who has them as deeply paced ally (close personal buddy) a murderous spirit say Andras or Guland. Those are more rare but happen. Most do not bother becasue the felt-spirtual ambient influence of death spirits is, well deathy and a bit grim, and most do not like that feeling, even if mild.
But the if you meet some who has spent the time and attention, often years, cultivating and iteracting with a deadly spirt , do not tussle with them . Go apologize if you are in the wrong. But most people , unless they are in extremely hostile personal circumstance, working in a corporation, surviving in Haiti, or are a service magician working for organized crime, the vast majority of sorcerer do not bother, and mostly forming realtionships with pretty nice "teaching" spirits.
