A quick thought on the Eucharist

Just a thought/question for Catholics:

The Bible, in Psalms 16 (a Messianic Psalm), states that Jesus' body will not see decay:
10 ... Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.
Peter and Paul both quote that verse again in Acts (2:31, and 13:35, respectively), in direct reference to Christ.

If this be true (and it is, 'cause the Bible says it!), what would happen to some consecrated Host that was left sitting around for a few months? Seems like that would be an easy way to solve the centuries-old question of transubstantiation...

Interestingly enough, Anne Askew, a Christian martyred by the Catholic Church, died uttering that very challenge:
"That which you call your God, is a piece of bread; for proof thereof let it lie in a box three months, and it will be moldy."
