This is normal, mixing water and DMSO is an exothermic reaction: http://bcn.net/~stoll/archives/dmso/15683.html
Chemically DMSO is a small molecule that is VERY reactive. In other words it gloms onto other molecules and can change their bioavailability (increase or decrease) radically (strong caution here for anyone concommitantly taking any other medication). I'm sure that you've noticed the strong exothermic reaction that takes place when adding water to a fairly pure DMSO solution. The above properties are what make it an interesting 'carrier' molecule. They are the same properties, chemically speaking, that might make it an effective anti-oxidant/free radical scavenger (the problem would be that it is SO reactive that the free radical would almost have to be the first molecule the DMSO sees). http://www.edelsoncenter.com/dmso.htm An exothermic reaction occurs when DMSO is diluted with water (heat is generated).
