You mean the ones that grow anywhere it's wet down south, and that have 
fruit that looks exactly like a strawberry only smaller (about the size of 
your little fingernail or so)?  We always called those "wild strawberries" 
and ate them whenever we could get them (used to have a patch that grew 
over the septic tank when I was little -- those ones were particularly 
yummy). No ill effects noted (unless you want to attribute personality 
flaws to early consumption of wild strawberries :-))
