It is far from safe to use humanity purely for curse defense. In my opinion, the best ways to defend yourself is with either the, already mentioned, Cursebite Ring or with an armor with high resist, like the Paladin Set or (my personal favorite) the Dingy Set.

And, since the only damage type you can take from a "cursing" enemy is magic (I'm serious. I did testing and found out that Basilisks don't even deal damage if they land on you.) which means that a magic resistant armor, like the Dingy Set, or Havel's is generally a good choice. Although Seath generally doesn't do heavy magical damage, with most of his attacks focusing on moderate damage followed by tick damage, so you could probably just fight him with your Fashion Souls armor of choice, the Cursebite Ring and chugging Estus.
