DMSO is hygroscopic, and thus releases energy when water is added.
Similar things happen with other hygroscopic liquids, such as sulfuric acid.

I have just completed setting up a little 4oz. "Spritzer" bottle with
about 2 1/2 ounces of E.I.S. ~15PPM and about 1 1/2 ounces of 99% DMSO.
When I added the DMSO, the mixture immediately got hot! Not boiling,
but probably somewhere around 140 degrees F.
Should that happen? There is a warning on the DMSO bottle about
adding DMSO
to acid chlorides sometimes reacting explosively, but the E.I.S.
should be nothing but double distilled water and silver.
Explanations, anyone?
