I would wonder exactly what was said because I think cutting someone's
eyelashes is unlikely unless she did it herself. That's a different
kind of worry for sure. What access does she have to scissors.
I did tend to get a lot of eyelashes in my eyes and they were hard to
get out, so I tended (and still do) to pull on my eyelashes so that
any that aren't securely anchored are pulled out before they can fall
out. Also, this time of year my eyes tend to itch and have a certain
amount of mucus in them which means that I want to rub them.

I apparently got so many burrs in my sisters hair that my mom gave up
and cut them out. The other thing I did was cut an area about the
size of a 50 cent piece right in the front of my hair. I did this
with my grandmother's nail scissors. I had been put to bed in her
room with barrettes in my hair (I had waist length hair), and the
barrettes pulled at my cowlick which is right at my widow's peak. I
didn't think to take the barrettes out. I just cut the hair that was
pulling off right at the scalp. My mom had a fit.

I ran my arm through the wringer of the washer at my aunt's house when
I was trying to 'help'. Fortunately it was set to do blankets.
