RICHMOND, Virginia (WTVR) — A Richmond doctor woke up last week to find a bat trying to get into her mouth — and her viral story carries an important warning for anyone who encounters a bat inside their home.
Dr. Krista Edelman, a gastroenterologist who lives off Grove Avenue in Richmond, was asleep in her nearly 100-year-old home when the encounter happened. She has since shared her experience on Instagram, where it has been shared more than 33,000 times.
“So brace yourself, this is a bat PSA,” Edelman said in the video.
Edelman said she was dreaming when she first sensed something near her face.
“So I was dreaming, and in my dream there was a cute little field mouse. This is pretty vivid, the whole thing. A little field mouse trying to get into my mouth,” Edelman said.
As she began to wake up, she reached toward her mouth and grabbed something she said initially felt like a tulip.
“And then I felt on its back really kind of coarse, short hair, and when that happened, I realized that was not a mouse,” Edelman said. “I screamed, and I was screaming repeatedly, something to the extent of like, ‘There’s a bat in my mouth. The bat is trying to get in my mouth.'”
Edelman quickly researched what to do and learned she should try to catch the bat rather than kill it, so it could be tested for rabies. She then called a friend who is an infectious disease doctor for guidance on whether she needed to seek a rabies vaccine immediately.
“He was anxious, and he’s not a very anxious person. So when he got anxious, I started to get anxious, and what I didn’t fully realize at the time was that the closer to the brain the exposure, the markedly accelerated risk of transmission,” Edelman said.
Her friend urged her to get treated as soon as possible. Edelman went to the emergency department at St. Mary’s Hospital, where she works, and was seen by Dr. Adam Landsee, the assistant medical director for the ER.
Landsee said anyone who wakes up to find a bat in their home should take the situation seriously.
“If you wake up in a room with a bat in your room or in your kid’s room or in your house, you kind of have to assume the worst,” Landsee said.
He said the small size of bat teeth makes it difficult to know whether a bite occurred.
“Bat teeth are very small and you don’t know if you’ve been bitten or not, and with rabies being essentially fatal, they need to be treated,” Landsee said.
Dr. Julia Murphy, the state’s public health veterinarian with the Virginia Department of Health, said submissions of bats for rabies testing are up this year compared to previous years, though the number of bats that have tested positive is not up.
Murphy recommends trying to trap the bat, as Edelman did, and then contacting your local health department for guidance. Local health departments can turn around bat rabies testing in roughly 48 hours. If the test comes back negative, a vaccine will not be needed.
“What I would encourage is a very prompt contact with local health department or animal control services for guidance,” Murphy said.
Edelman recently learned the bat that tried to get into her mouth tested negative for rabies. She said she shared her story to help others who might find themselves in a similar situation.
“I was compelled to put it out there because I was a little humbled. Like I, again, grew up in rural Hanover. Like I think I know the basics of things, and I was humbled about how I didn’t really know what to do in that situation,” Edelman said.

August 25, 2026 (Houston Style Magazine) — Houston Congressman Al Green has again put the Constitution where he believes it belongs – squarely in the middle of America’s political conversation. On Monday, August 24, Green filed H.Res. 1486, articles of impeachment accusing President Donald J. Trump of high crimes and misdemeanors tied to the administration’s immigration-enforcement practices and what Green describes as a broader assault on constitutional restraints. Green’s office says the resolution alleges that Trump allowed ICE and Customs and Border Protection to operate without adequate accountability while assaulting civilians and covering up unjustified killings, naming Renée Good, Alex Pretti, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero.
Green followed the filing with a direct communiqué to Trump — not a victory lap, but a constitutional warning shot. He told the president that the issue, in his view, is not Democrat versus Republican, conservative versus liberal, or Left versus Right, but “right versus wrong.” That framing matters. The Constitution was never designed as a party souvenir to be pulled from the shelf only when convenient. It is the operating agreement for a republic, and Green is arguing that no president gets an unlimited data plan for executive power.
The resolution goes further, accusing Trump of abusing presidential authority by turning ICE and CBP into “unaccountable paramilitary police forces” while threatening due process, free speech, judicial independence and the separation of powers. Those are Green’s allegations, not adjudicated findings. The White House and Department of Homeland Security rejected them Tuesday, August 25, defended federal immigration officers and called the impeachment effort baseless. That rebuttal belongs in the record, too, because democracy works best when charges are public, responses are public and evidence is tested rather than buried beneath partisan shouting.
Politically, Green is climbing a steep hill. Republicans currently control both chambers, and filing articles does not itself impeach a president. Under the Constitution, the House must approve articles by a simple majority; conviction in the Senate requires two-thirds of senators present. H.Res. 1486, therefore, is not a removal notice. It is a constitutional accusation placed into the national record.
That distinction is precisely why Green’s action may matter even if it never reaches a Senate trial. He acknowledged the arithmetic in his letter, arguing that unsuccessful articles can still register formal disapproval and demonstrate that some members of Congress are “watching and willing to act.” Former Vice President Dick Cheney — hardly a liberal icon — warned in 2022 that Trump represented an extraordinary threat to the republic, a reminder that concern over democratic guardrails has crossed ideological lines.
Green, who has represented Houston in Congress since 2005 and lost his Democratic primary runoff to Christian Menefee in May, is making this stand as his current House tenure nears its end. That gives the moment an added layer: a longtime Houston congressman choosing confrontation over quiet departure.
For Houston Style Magazine readers, the issue is larger than one politician. Democracy determines whether neighborhoods are heard, courts remain independent, immigrant families receive due process and federal power answers to law. Green’s critics will call the filing political theater. His supporters will call it constitutional courage. Both can debate the tactic.
But the larger democratic principle should be harder to dispute: presidents are powerful, not sovereign. Congress is not decorative. Courts are not optional. Free speech is not a favor. Due process is not a loophole.

America’s democratic experiment has survived wars, assassinations, scandal, segregation and constitutional crises because citizens and institutions kept insisting that the rules still mattered. Al Green’s latest filing is one more test of that insistence. The outcome is uncertain; the responsibility is not.
Democracy does not protect itself. People do.

ARANSAS COUNTY, Texas (KRIS) — Just 4 months into recovery from a fractured spine, Rockport resident Rachel Kelly-McKee was stung more than 300 times by Africanized bees at a local storage facility.
Surveillance video captured by a camera at Goose Island Park Storage on Saturday, Aug. 15, shows Kelly-McKee in her storage unit with her German shepherd, Chelsea. Kelly-McKee says Chelsea loves to come out to the units with her, but right by Chelsea is the tree that over 300 bees came out of. Kelly-McKee says it could have been Chelsea that provoked the bees.
“She came in and I noticed she had a few, a few bees on her and so I said. You know, I thought they were honeybees. I said, don’t bring the bees in here, you know,” Kelly-McKee said.
But it was more than just a few bees.
“The minute we cleared that door, I was just absolutely inundated. And so she ran one way and I ran the other way. I ran all around here just swatting and trying to get them off of me and screaming,” Kelly-McKee said.
An automatic gate at the storage facility stopped Kelly-McKee from being able to get away. The gate could only be activated by a car, not a person. The owner of the storage units opened the gate remotely when he saw what was happening. That is when Deputy Will Newsom of the Aransas County Sheriff’s Office and the Lamar Volunteer Fire Department arrived and sprung into action.
“But my plan was to roll up. And get her into the back compartment of my car, and then extricate her from the scene and move her down to Lamar Fire Station where we could get medical attention. So once I got her there, I got her out of the car and I grabbed the hose and started hosing her down, and so she could start getting the rest of the bees out of there,” Newsom said.
Without his quick action, the situation could have been fatal.
“I mean, you know, just, I mean one bee sting can be fatal to some people. She took over 300 stings, which is definitely in the fatal range. So I, I knew that we had a limited amount of time to be able to get her out of the situation, get her to medical care,” Newsom said.
Kelly-McKee says she is not looking to place blame. She says she just wants people to be aware of how to protect themselves.
