The mountain ash doesn't "cure" the bite. Gerard is still coughing it up and healing so who knows what will happen. We really have no way of knowing until he is fully healed. I admit that everything else is pure speculation and fan wishful thinking but nowhere has it stated that the mountain ash stopped his bite from taking hold. He is just poisoned as far as we know. A human wouldn't be coughing up mountain ash. As they've said on the show, the bite either turns you or kills you.
