Those wouldn't cause your eyelashes to fall out, however.
If this is something that keeps happening, you should consider going to your doctor about it. If there is some underlying cause, they will be able to figure it out and solve the problem before it gets severe.

If you are sick right now, wait until you get better and see if the hair problem is resolved. 2) Certain medications can cause slight hair loss. Research any medications that you are on currently to for side effects of hair loss. 3) Alopecia Areata, it is a skin disease that causes hair loss, and you should see your doctor if you think you have this. 4) Poor nutrition. Try adding more proteing and/or iron into your diet. 5) Styling/hair products. Some styling products in your hair can damage it and cause it to fall out. Try taking or substituting these products.
