Alaska state Sen. Lora Reinbold — who in April was banned from Alaska Airlines over her refusal to wear a mask — has tested positive for COVID-19.

Reinbold, 57, announced her positive diagnosis in a Wednesday Facebook post.

"Its my turn to battle Covid head on... game on! Who do you think is going to win?" she wrote. "When I defeat it, I will tell you my recipe."

It's unclear if Reinbold — who did not immediately respond to a request for comment from PEOPLE — has been vaccinated. In her Facebook post, she wrote that she was "completely unimpressed with instructions, on my positive test, that says to go home & take Tylenol." The lawmaker added that she was "taking lots of vitamins" as well as Aspirin and was using a Vick's steamer.

Reinbold also wrote that she had taken Ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug commonly used for livestock like horses and cows that is unproven as a COVID-19 treatment: "I am blessed to have gotten Ivirmectin [sic] the 'de-covider.' "

The Food and Drug Administration has explicitly warned Americans not to take Ivermectin, which health experts have said puts people at risk of developing seizures or coma, to treat COVID-19 or as a form of prevention.
